Harmony
Our overarching goal is harmony, in all we do
Organic(ish)
We follow the Canadian Organic Standards published by the Organic Federation of Canada (https://organicfederation.ca), but we will not be pursuing official certification (it would be VERY expensive to retrofit our property to the high standards required). We use only approved organic fertilizers, locally produced composted manure, natural pest control methods, and feed our chickens a locally purchased, balanced layer ration. We are committed to promoting harmony between the animals, plants, soil, and microorganisms that coexist on our property.
Respect
We respect the land that sustains us, the animals we raise to provide our food, and the people and community we serve
Connection
We seek to foster a deep connection with the individuals and businesses within our community, as well as to more closely connect our community to the food they consume.
Health
As nurses, we have devoted our lives to promoting and sustaining the health of our communities. We are now expanding that care into promoting individual and community health through ethical nutritious food, and encouraging community involvement in local food production
Regenerative Farming
Regenerative agriculture is farming and ranching in harmony with nature. Regenerative growers foster and protect relationships—between people, lands, waterbodies, livestock, wildlife, and even microbial life in soil. The goal is to nourish the land as well as the people, and leave the earth in better shape than we found it.
And also, musical harmony!
We love listening to, and playing, a variety of music and instruments! We're both still learning, but we don't sound terrible ALL the time.
