We are a family run farm located in Duncan, BC. We raise small flocks of free range turkeys and free range chickens and pasture raised beef and we give all our animals lots of care and attention.
Some of our cattle do seem to become pets but we still know what the outcome is.
We love farming and we love animals
and we love healthy food. We believe that an animal that has been raised without stress and with as much of their outdoor environment as is possible, will make for healthier food.
Our animals are very juicy and tender. No hormones are added to them or anything else that promotes unnatural growth.
They get lots of sunlight and always have the
option of going indoors too if that is what they want.
They live on a farm with other animals, which has nothing to do with how good they taste, but I think it is important for animals to have variety in their lives. Plus we really enjoy watching the way they socialize.
Turkeys are really friendly and curious. They are so fun to have around. If you want to move a large group of turkeys you don't
try to herd them from behind, you go in front of them and clang some really loug medal together and flap your arms around and they will all come running to see what is going on. YES, we do look rather silly doing this but it makes us smile every time.
Our laying hens seem to have a lot ofpersonality. The trick with them, because they have freedom to the
full 11 acres, istrying to find where they are layingtheir eggs if they decide they don't want to lay in their chicken barn. They are very creative at finding places and I have to be very creative atkeeping up with them. But....they sure do have delicious eggs.
Have you heard that eggs from hens that are raised on a pasture are healthier than commercial raised eggs because:
• 1⁄3 less cholesterol
• 1⁄4 less saturated fat
• 2⁄3 more vitamin A
• 2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
• 3 times more vitamin E
• 7 times more beta carotene
