Heritage Harvest Farm, Organic CSA - raises rare and heritage organic breeds of both produce and livestock, using both traditional and modern farming methods on our 36 acre farm.. Our farm's forests provides maple products including significant quantity of maple syrup processed in the traditional wood fired evaporation method on our farm.
We believe that these organic/heritage breeds not only taste better but are better for you.
These foods are not altered by science and remain in their original state which makes them stronger, heartier and disease resistant requiring must less interference in their raising.

Diamondbrook Farm is located at Prestonvale, between Ferguson’s Falls and Balderson.
A part of the farm is dedicated to grain crops, but we specialize in fresh vegetables and raspberries (in season) sweet corn and a variety of squash. Our orchard should start producing (Marshall Macs, Ida Red and Honey Crisp) apples in the next year.
Fresh produce along with homemade jams, relishes and baking as well as a line of lavender Gardeners products are available at our booth at the Carleton Place Farmers Market every Saturday morning.

We purchased the 176 acre former beef operation in 2008 and began planting in 2009.  45 acres are tillable sand, loam and clay and the rest is primarily wetlands (feeding the Tay River Watershed) and mixed forest.
Greenwood Organics is committed to providing the local community with organic produce, especially heritage varieties rich in taste and nutritional value-- nourishing the land and the community. Currently, 2 acres are under cultivation with half committed to green manures as part of the farm's crop rotation program. As well as garlic and the major root and annual vegetables, asparagus and raspberries have been planted which will be available in future years. We are certified organic by OC-Pro and are members of the Canadian Organic Growers, Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario and National Farmers Union.

Kricklewood Farm had its beginnings in Atlanta Georgia where I took a goat cheesemaking class at a local Saanen Dairy.  I also learned that goat milk also makes amazing soap that is gentle for the skin and smells great too.    The city lot grew too small for our poultry flock, bee hive and goats were definitely out of the question!    My partner and I were planning a move back to Canada (we both grew up in Winnipeg, lived in Montreal then Atlanta).  I have family near Ottawa and visited the area and found a fabulous stone farm house on 90 acres and moved in June 15th of this year.   We are starting off with goat milk soap, bees wax candles, laying hens and a vegetable plot with herbs and cut flowers.

The best thing about raising lamb and sheep is the connection we make with our customers. It is great to hear what is going on in their lives and it is especially gratifying to get feedback on our lamb" declares the Natural Lamb team. Our lambs are raised by their mothers in open air and sunshine on lush, rotating pastures. This lifestyle results in leaner, "heart healthy" meat that is popular with consumers. Their product was a prize winner at the 2007 Feast of Fields.
 

Maureen & Elizabeth moved to the Eastern Ontario in 2002 and took up farming in Balderson. On this sweet meadow of clay/loam soil, we grow a wide variety of vegetables, with some herbs and berries. This year we are pleased to have our asparagus and raspberries ready to harvest. All of our crops are certified organic by Procert(#1026). Consumers can purchase our produce directly through our pre-order farm gate service, receiving a weekly email of what is ready to harvest or find us at the Perth Farmers Market. Our produce can also be found on the shelves at Foodsmiths and Coutts Country Store.

Eric and Sarah moved to their 100-acre farm near Smiths Falls in 2000 and put considerable work into restoring the fields and outbuildings that had been unused for decades as well as into creating a market garden plot, all using organic methods. They began selling produce at the Perth Farmers’ Market in 2001 and at the same time bought a small flock of sheep.

In 2007, Kristine Swaren and Malcolm Williams brought a shared love of the land together to work with Mother Nature in a beautiful valley in Lanark Highlands. Malcolm's bees produce golden honey from native wildflowers, trees and the garden plants. Malcolm also makes furniture from cedar, ironwood and maple harvested from the 170-acre property. Kristine trained with an herbalist and a biodynamic farmer and works with Canadian Organic Growers.

Blue Chicory Garden will attain organic certification in 2010 with Ecocert. Products are available at the farm gate, Perth Farmers Market, McDonald's Corners Farmers Market and through home deliveries. We are committed to being local farmers to our neighbours and nearby communities.
