From our family to yours...

We are a 100%-owned family farm, so you can rest assured that everything that bears our name is produced on our farm with the greatest attention to every detail.

You see, we truly care about the health of our family, and we care about yours too.

Our mission is to provide families with truly healthy meat.

• Local-food is fresher, and is often tastier and more nutritious
  
  It's nearly impossible for food that is packed, stored and shipped long distances to be as tasty or nutritious as locally-grown food.
  
  
• Family-farms are better for the environment
  
  Farmers who live where they farm are usually very responsible stewards of the land, and are more likely to run their farms in a sustainable and environmentally-beneficial manner than large agribusinesses.
  
  
• Locally-produced food conserves resources
  
  When you eat local, you help reduce our community's dependency on gas-guzzling transportation systems and costly packing materials. You also keep more food-buying dollars in the hands of regional farmers.
  
  
• Local family-farms build rural economies
  
  Dollars generated in local communities change hands three or four times before they leave. This helps support diversity in the local economy and the proliferation of small businesses. Plus, family-farm dominated communities have higher overall standards of living --- including more retail trade, independent businesses, parks, schools, churches and community involvement --- than those communities dominated by large agribusinesses.
  
  
• Family farms help children develop valuable skills and healthy values
  
  When you buy food from local, family farms, you are supporting a model of healthy family living where children learn to contribute by doing chores and helping with harvests --- and this helps shapes healthy attitudes toward the land and the value of responsible food production.
  
  
• Locally-grown food protects genetic diversity
  
  Big agribusinesses favor extreme genetic characteristics in plants and animals, in order to increase profitability. Unfortunately, this can result in the loss of valuable genetic information, opening the door for catastrophic long-term consequences for the environment and the food supply. Buying locally-grown products from family farms helps promote a robust and diverse genetic pool in plants and livestock, which is healthier for people, and healthier for the planet.
  
  
• Locally-operated family farms keep your taxes lower
  
  For every $1 in revenue raised by residential development, governments must spend at least $1.17 on services, thus requiring higher taxes from local residents. Conversely, for each $1 in revenue raised by farms, governments only spend about $0.34 on services. When you support local family farms with your food-buying dollars, you help keep government spending (and therefore taxes) lower.
  
  
• Buying locally-grown food protects our food security
  
  Supporting family farms results in a sustainable and safer level of food security. Buying produce from Asia or meat products from South America through vast global agribusinesses creates structural dependencies on unregulated and environmentally-destructive production models, which can lead to potentially catastrophic consequences to the ecology of the planet and the safety of our food supply. However, when you buy from local family-run farms, you are supporting a sustainable model of food production that is governed by regulatory and environmental standards that were Made-in-Canada.

Here's what you can do to support family farms

	Buy your food directly from regional farms.
	Buy from your local farmers market.
	Ask your grocery store to stock locally grown farm products.
	Serve meals prepared with locally grown food.
	Encourage your local school districts and hospitals to serve locally grown foods.
	Demand country-of-origin labeling on all the foods you buy.
	Tell elected officials to support regionally-based agriculture to help keep our farm families living and working on the land.
