I sell grass finished beef and organic eggs (pastured in summer and fed organic greens in winter.)I use no petro chemical fertilizers, no pesticides, no hormones, no anti-biotics, no purchased seed, no grains for the cattle.I'm not really a farmer because I don't have any machinery (yet). I do give the cows free choice kelp meal mixed with Redmond salt. Cattle are moved to fresh pasture up to 4 times a day. I am at at Main Farmers Farmers Market in Ottawa in the summer. Check their web site for location and dates.I also do my own little farmers market in the winter.

Products:

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.

See what is happening on the farm on our Facebook page - Dancing Dog Farm.

Products:

Generally available: non-certified organic lamb. Seasonally available: chicken, geese, and eggs.

Pastured woodland pork and honey are some of the other products we hope to provide in the future.

We are a diverse small family farm offering a variety of products to our loyal customers. In the summer we produce a wide variety of non certified garden vegetables with a higher concentration on garlic, both braided and loose, and sweet corn.
We truly enjoy our honeybees both for their incredible pollination capability and the exquisite honey they give us. We extract our honey twice per season giving us the opportunity to sell both spring and fall unpasteurized honey .
We have free range chickens giving us a rainbow of colours. Our customers enjoy seeing white, brown, pink, green and blue eggs in their carton and the fresh free range flavour of the eggs is incomparable!
In the spring we tap a limited number of Maple trees and have a quantity of maple syrup available as supplies last.
My pride and joy are our Boer Goats. Our farm raises both purebred and percentage Boers. The Boer is a hardy meat breed and are easy keepers. Ours only require a lean to for winter conditions and are healthy and friendly. We sell them as purebreds, registered if requested or commercial for meat or hobby. Spring kids arrive in early April and it is optimal to reserve one early . We currently are adding red and spotted genetics to our Boers for eye appeal.
Our firewood is usually preordered and is well seasoned mixed hardwood. Occasionally we have some available.
Everything we produce is the hard work of our own family. We are very happy with what we produce which makes the hard work involved so very worth it!

Products:

Purebred and percentage Boer goats
Garlic : Braided for decoration, loose or seed garlic. Multiple varieties
Sweet corn
Pumpkins
Seasonal vegetables ie tomatoes, beans, cucumbers etc
Honey: unpasteurized extracted for spring and fall honey
Free range eggs
Maple Syrup

With our young family in tow, we have taken on a lovely 93-acre farm on a fertile hillside roughly half way between Perth and Lanark, just east of Balderson.

Since the summer of 2013, we have sold eggs from hens provided certified organic feed (and free-ranged on grass and bugs in the growing season). This year we have a limited number of broiler chickens raised on pasture as well as grass-fed beef.

Our practices are consciously in line with those required by organic certifying bodies, although we have not certified to date due to the cost.

We are members of the Canadian Organic Growers and are registered with the National Farmers' Union.

Products:

non-certified organic beef, chickens and eggs; hopefully vegetables in the future

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.
