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]">[email protected]

We have Farmgate Sales available all year.

Products:

Beef sales are by individual cuts, sample package 25 lbs., quarter, half or whole.

Please call 613-283-3739 or email [email protected]">[email protected] for updated list of our variety of vegetables available.

Balderson

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

She also hopes to grow on the success of previous years by returning to the Perth Farmer’s Market, selling at the farm-gate, and expanding her CSA while still finding time to milk the goats and care for the chickens.

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.

Products:

Chickens, turkeys, free range eggs, baking, preserves (relishes, chili sauce, pickles, salsa) and assorted vegetables. Chickens and turkeys are available in season. Eggs and baking are available year round.
