Our rolling 250 acre farm borders the North Eastern shores of Red Deer Lake near Ferintosh, Alberta, where we have lived since 1984. Parcels of our land have been managed by our family for several generations and bordering lands even longer. In 1988 we began using organic agricultural principles to guide the stewardship of our land and since then we have farmed without the use of synthetic/chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. Today, we continue that tradition, & with the addition of permaculture design & holistic management our farm is becoming known as one of North America's leaders in the regenerative agriculture movement.
The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation & perfection of human beings.
― Masanobu Fukuoka (1913-2008), The One-Straw Revolution
It is our intent to help grow better human beings through:
Food
Our health is dependent upon the vitality of our surrounding ecosystems. Through regenerative agricultural practices we are committed to providing our community with food that is both nutrient dense & earth restorative.
|
Education
Through free farm tours, public speaking, mentorships, workshops, consulting & cooperation with our community we look to share all that we have come to know & in the process, learn a great deal ourselves.
|
Celebration
To celebrate is to be grateful. During our seasonal celebrations
we gather together with our customers as a community to honour the Earth & our farm, giving thanks for the many gifts they provide.
