If you have ever considered keeping dairy goats for home use or are seeking a suitable starter herd for your hobby farm, Saanens may be the best choice for you.
Originally from the Saanen Valley in Switzerland, Saanens make ideal backyard goats because they have excellent temperaments, are easy for young people to handle and make good mothers. As one of the world’s largest dairy goat breeds, Saanens typically weigh 150lb or more, with bucks weighing over 200lbs. The white and cream-coloured breed is also valued for its generous milk production and for its ability to adapt to environmental changes.
At Amaranth Farm, homesteaders Tony and Margaret French are currently raising a herd of nine Saanens. Each day, the does produce between three and four litres of milk and after the kids are born (usually in March of each year), the couple uses themilk to make soft goat cheese (for own use).
Amaranth Farm typically has a few Saanen goat kids available for sale each year, and sometimes a yearling ready for breeding.  The goats are brought up on organic feed and grain.
Tony and Margaret welcome those interested in learning more about homesteading or goat herding (including milking and cheese making) to contact them for a visit to Amaranth Farm. The couple are members of the Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario, Canadian Organic Growers, National Farmers Union and Maberly Fair.

Since purchasing their farm in 2006, Shawn and Jo’Anne Cassidy are working hard to provide fresh local canned products from local fruits and vegetables.  I can be found at the Carp Market and Rideau Pines Farm.  I plan on being in a few local stores in the coming year.  I make a variety of jams, jellies, chutney, pickles and other canned products made from fresh local produce.  I also have have meat pies during the Christmas season.

Battle River Bison is named after a river that runs through several family farms in Alberta. Richard Allan brought his dreams to Ontario when he, his wife Cheryl and their two children made Drummond Centre just outside of Perth their new home.
Since 2006, they have raised bison for meat while working to make their land once again, farmable. “These beautiful animals are a joy to watch and we encourage everyone to bring their camera and stay for a visit,” says Richard. Animals raised at Battle River Bison are free of steroids and growth hormones.
The meat is sold at the Carp Farmers Market, Foodsmiths (Perth), Garden Market (Smiths Falls) and the Natural Food Pantry (Kanata). If you are dining check out the Dalhousie Lake Restaurant in McDonalds Corners for our burgers. Farm-gate sales are also available.
Among the many health benefits of bison are, low levels of cholesterol and fat and high levels of omega 3 fatty acids, as well as iron.

Michael and Noelle began raising Katahdin sheep in 2009 with their Great Pyrenees livestock protection dogs on their 50 acre farm in Tay Valley Township just west of Perth.  Chickens and geese soon followed. All the animals are raised using non-certified organic methods including pasture rotation.  Michael has worked hard to improve the quality of pasture using green manures and manure from the animals.  We recognize that the quality of what we feed our animals determines their health.

Sales are from the farm gate or through referrals from the Two Rivers Food Hub.  Please call or email to make sure we aren't in a back field and miss your visit.

Bruce and Janet Duncan have been using organic methods since 1980 and have been certified organic since 1996. Their organically-raised, grass-fed animals include 100 head of heritage Red Poll cattle. Call to order beef by any cut. Certified organic eggs are available daily on a first-come, first served basis.

In 1995, when Tom Waller and Allaine Nordin first saw the bottom land and south-facing slopes of Elm Tree Farm (under the March snow), they knew they had found their new home. Gardening began that spring, and today, seven different gardens follow the contours of the soil, each with its own distinct character.
“Home-style organic produce” is the way Tom and Allaine describe the wide variety of vegetables they produce. Tom and Allaine grow their vegetables using Demeter Biodynamic Certified protocols. They work hard to achieve vibrant, living soil that is rich in minerals. These efforts are clearly evident. “The more nutritious the soil, the more flavour the food has,” say Tom and Allaine.
They offer a CSA (basket drop-offs in Sharbot Lake and Ottawa), restaurant deliveries; this is their third season supplying Beckta in Ottawa, and new this year, a farm store serving the local community. Elm Tree Farm is Demeter certified and a CRAFT host farm.

Pasture raised animals provide excellent, nutritious food for people without harming the land, the environment, or resorting to the use of chemicals and medications. All of our certified organic feed rations used to supplement our animals are free of soybeans. We are pleased to be Canada's only year round certified organic Whole Farm CSA. Our CSA runs 50 weeks of the year. Shares include a bit of everything grown on the farm: certified organic beef, pork, chicken, duck, lamb, all you can eat eggs, honey, maple syrup, veggies, some fruits, and herbs both culinary and medicinal.

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.
Though not certified, Eric and Sarah work diligently to maintain the quality of the soil through composting, mulching and organic pest control. Sheep manure is used to increase fertility in the soil and the waste from the garden goes back to the sheep. The farm is full of bees, frogs, snakes, worms, birds and butterflies that enjoy a pesticide-free environment. Farm volunteers work in exchange for learning about small-scale farming and sustainable agriculture.

James Haven Farms and Piggin’ Out are joint business ventures operated by Phyllis James and her son, Mark. Located outside of Perth, James Haven Farms is a former commercial pig farm that has evolved into an operation focused on local food production. Piggin’ Out is the name of the booth at the Perth Farmers’ Market—started by Mark and his brothers-- that the family has run since 1993.
The centerpiece of the booth is the barbecue where sausages, pork burgers and back bacon laden with homemade condiments are served up to hungry customers. Baked goods including pies, doughnuts, scones, breads, muffins and other delectable treats make this a must-stop spot for farmers’ market visitors. Frozen cuts of pork can also be purchased at the market or directly from the farm.
On the farm, Phyllis and Mark raise pastured turkeys and chickens. The birds are housed in huts and are moved daily. The feed comes from a local certified organic farm. In 2008, they introduced a mobile egg operation that provides free-range eggs for their farmers’ market booth.
James Haven Farms uses non-certified organic methods. Members of Canadian Organic Growers, Lanark County Slow Food, Lanark Organic Producers’ Guild, Perth Farmers’ Market.

“Our main goal is to have people come here for the experience and leave with great memories,” says Myriam Belot Edwards of her family-run operation. Kilmarnock Orchard is a great place for birthday parties, wedding showers, corporate picnics or just hanging out with family and friends. Tractor-drawn wagons transport visitors around the orchard during Pick-Your-Own season and picnic tables are provided for those who wish to bring along their own lunch. Visitors are also invited to book a fun, educational tour, experience cider pressing, taste the fruits of our labour with local chefs, enjoy a cup of cider with our Island Apples pies or a BBQ luncheon (weekends only). For more information check our website.
Kilmarnock Orchard is located on the beautiful little Island of Kilmarnock overlooking the Historic Rideau River, no passport required! They grow 25 varieties of apples along with fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden.
“Weather often poses a challenge and can put stress on our trees,” says Myriam, “but we strive to do more than just sell apples. We are blessed with a great staff and with the support of my family and believe strongly in local flavours. That is what you will find in our Apple Shoppe.”

Lisa and her husband Rob have owned Knotty Bottoms Farm since 2009.  At first there was only 1 acre of cleared land for planting next to the house, the rest in various stages of brush.  Now, the couple are proud to have 50 acres of cleared land for both pasture and planting, as well as 70 acres of woods, part of which is now used for a small sugar bush operation and firewood.
Their growing practices are down to earth, using their diesel tractor and sweat to manage the weeds rather than using pesticides and herbicides, to produce a product they are proud to sell and use on their own table as well.  While they do most of the work themselves, their twin girls love to help pick up rocks from the field, not to mention sampling whatever they can pull off the plants.
This year their CSA is being expanded to 12 shares for farm fresh vegetables and they plan on expanding to a flock of 300 meat birds.  This year they are also proud to begin selling maple syrup at the farm gate!  In future years they hope to be able to offer grass fed lamb and beef, as well as pasture fed pork.  Knotty Bottoms Produce and Poultry can be purchased either by a CSA subscription or at the Farm Gate and Maple Syrup will be available this spring at the Farm Gate.

Looking for a change in pace from city life, Cait and Kyle returned to the family farm to establish Milkhouse Farm & Dairy in 2010. The husband-and-wife team now produce raw sheeps' milk cheeses, grass-fed lamb, and all-natural wool products. They are in charge every step of the way: from sheep, to milk, to cheese, to market. Their growing flock of British Milk Sheep rotate through fresh pastures and lounge in the shade of tree-lined fields. The ewes are fed a small treat of local, certified organic grain in exchange for their creamy, nutritious milk. In the cheese kitchen, raw sheeps' milk cheeses are produced seasonally from May to October. Each wheel is handcrafted in small-batches and then carefully aged for a minimum of three months. Follow their blog at www.milkhouse.ca.

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.
The Salisburys carefully manage their respective flocks so that Natural Lamb can provide customers with a year-round supply of meat. This includes prepared specialties such as samosas, lamb pie and shepherds pie which are available at Christmas and Easter.

The story of Ravensfield begins with the European settlement of this area in the 1840s and 50s. The rocky Canadian Shield soil was forest-covered: white pine, oak, maple. For the immigrants trying to establish a farm, the mighty trees were a serious problem: they needed cleared land, and the easiest way they knew to deal with the forest was to set fire to it.
This style of agriculture has been practiced since antiquity. From a present day perspective, the ecological cost to the ecosystem is far too great to justify it. But settlers were desperate for food and unable to adapt quickly from the version of agriculture they had known in Europe. So the forest fires in Lanark County burned, some literally for years.
A forgiveness is needed here. As humans we are able to act quickly and have immense impact on ecosystems. Our brains, much as we think so highly of  them, seem less capable of foreseeing the consequences of our actions, and our hearts are not always large enough to care about the bigger picture, or the future, or other humans, present and future, or other species.
The settlers soon learned that the soil under the oaks was thin. Rock close to the surface, crops that grew well only for a few years and thereafter dwindled as the soil nutrients were used up. Yet the human imperative continued: a farm of 100 acres was expected to have 12 cows (plus offspring) if the farmer was to be respected in society.
Rain doesn’t come easily to this country, and grass doesn’t grow well. In harder years, cattle were set loose in the bush to find sustenance. Earth was compacted, tree roots damaged by their hooves, trees stripped of leaves and branches so they could not survive: this all led toward desertification. Before the land could recover from the burning of the forest, the dry decade of the 1930s came, and delivered another blow to this land. At this point, farming was in decline, people moved away, and the land had a chance to come back. But by the 1970s, another dry time, farmers who still had cows were busy renting pasturage on disused farms such as this one. Not only did they not have anything to lose by overgrazing the land, it also happened that the 1970s were another very dry decade
I bought this property in 1981. 200 acres in a long rectangle stretching from east to west. “Time was,” I was once told, “when you could see every part  of this place from anywhere you stood on it.” This is a testament as to how far desertification had come to Ravensfield: from a mature forest with trees towering over 100 feet, to land so barren you could see 200 acres  without anything to block your view.
I named the place Ravensfield. For some of the native peoples, Raven was the creator and also the trickster. He brought the gifts to the People: food, and a habitat rich in resources to make life easy. But if the people were not good stewards of those gifts, Raven, as trickster, would steal them away again. Raven reminds us that the land is never our own. We live with the land for a short time only, and our first responsibility  is tend it in such a way that we honor its integrity and safeguard it for the future.
I am fortunate to have the chance to do this.  The story of Ravensfield is a story of bioremediation; of bringing an ecosystem back to life.
By 1990, a small barn was built for animals, and a biodynamically run garden that eventually reached a size of 1 1/2 acres was started. A livelihood was assured. The animals were chosen for their contribution to soil redevelopment.  Pigs metabolize their food in such a way as to bring iron in the soil back into a living form, which can readily circulate through  the food chain. The life processes of chickens can work magic to produce a form of calcium which is very biologically active. Plants likewise were chosen to help conserve and enhance the soil; vegetables are labour intensive but ultimately easier on the soil, so they have come first. The garden was put onto the most run-down field and has reached a level of productivity and soil development that makes me smile.
Perhaps most importantly, the forest has regenerated. It has grown 30 years without significant cutting or trampling or overgrazing, and completely reversed the damage.reinstated the forest soil ecology. The upland portion of the property, which I left untouched for so long, can finally be developed into pasture areas, with significant fence-rows left to avoid earlier human errors.
The movement of water has also been  improved. In 2004-5, a very large dredging project was taken to re-dredge the creek channel as it runs through the east west axis of the farm. The water runs clear again, and 6 ponds have been added for water species. Gees, otter, ducks, etc are all in evidence, and we are assured a sufficient water supply without having to tap into deep well water. 35 acres of lowland fields are returning to a usable state. They represent the future for the farm, which at present cannot yet supply itself with hay and grain for the animals.
When people support this farm by buying produce and meat, this is what they are supporting. This is not a simple  ”business” trying to “make money”. It is an effort to find, and live, a new model of agricultural sustainability. It is a striving for respect for the natural world, and that respect carries over into a respect for the sacredness of food, with efforts to provide people with the most nutritious food, so they themselves will be inspired to live lives of extraordinary beauty.

We moved to Seanic Farms in 2003, in search of a more peaceful way of life, and began transitioning it into an environmentally friendly and conscientious operating farm.  The farm had not been operated for many years and required buildings/fencing to be repaired, and land to be cleared to create new pastures.  We researched a number of different types of livestock and settled on the gentle and hardy Highland cattle we had first seen in the United Kingdom.  In 2008, our first five heifers and bull arrived, and currently our herd consists of between 20-30 head.  Our desire for healthy and wholesome food and the enjoyment of gardening lead us to venturing into the world of market gardening in 2014.  Even though we are not "organic certified", we use the same "organic principles and practices,"  and following our first successful year we have expanded our garden to include more variety of fresh vegetables and delicious low fat, grass-fed beef for our customers.

We are excited to inform all our valued customers that beginning the spring of 2016, we will be offering our very own CSA weekly fresh vegetable basket for a 18 week session.  There are only 5 shares left and you can order a half or a full share.  We can also offer grass fed beef as part of your CSA package.  Pick up will be at the farm on Tuesday's and at the Perth Farmers Market Saturday mornings.  For further information contact Carole or Roy 613-283-3739 or by email [email protected]

Maureen & Elizabeth moved to eastern Ontario in 2002 and took up farming in Balderson. On this sweet meadow of clay/loam soil, we have had a magical experience of growing organic vegetables for the local market.  We retired our vegetable operation in 2016 and continue as a hobby farm, growing buckwheat to produce our own buckwheat flour and raspberries. Our 2017 buckwheat crop failed due to the wet weather. Stay tuned for future plans.

We planted raspberry canes last spring and will have a u-pick raspberry patch ready for picking in June, 2018.
