The Homestead

Nourishing our land

to nourish you.

Organic and regenerative meat, eggs, and vegetables.

Food that is great for you and great for our planet.

Welcome to The Homestead

Situated between the arable prairie of the Peace Country and a wilderness extending to the Pacific Ocean, our farm has been certified organic since 1990. With growing nutrient-dense food as our focus, our beef are 100% grass fed, our chickens free-range in fresh air and sunshine, and our pigs are rotated through lush, diverse pastures. In addition to organic meat we also produce magnificent eggs, nutritious microgreens, powerful garlic, and flavourful vegetables.

Our promise to you is to provide nourishment by continuing to be responsible stewards of our land and provide the tastiest, most nutritious, and environmentally responsible food possible.

We are honoured to be your farmers and can’t thank you enough for choosing to support local, regenerative agriculture!

Chicken racing was a new addition to the annual Ranch BBQ this year! Inspired by the chicken races at @parks.canada Fort St. James National Historic Centre, we decided to build our own track. The speedy hen in lane #2 was the grand champion!

The @grandeprairiefarmersmarket2020 is having a fundraiser for much needed improvements to the building that is home to 50+ local businesses, including ours.

Tickets are available on our website. https://thehomesteadfarm.ca/products/a-night-to-support-local-fundraiser-for-the-grande-prairie-farmers-market

For the last 50 years, The Grande Prairie Farmer's Market has been bringing people together in our community. The market is a gathering spot where people connect with local makers, bakers, growers, and cultivates the connection between producers and consumers.

Last farm tour of the year!

We saw chickens, pigs, and cows on pasture, ate carrots straight from the garden, collected eggs, cooled down in the cellar, and played farm bingo.

A massive thank you to the >110 people who ventured out to learn about regenerative agriculture and where their food comes from.

That’s a wrap (get it? 😉) on haying for 2024! It was another year of abysmal yields, and unfortunately we’ve had to buy a lot of our hay again.

Fortunately, we were able to find enough organic hay to get us through the winter but it’s 33% more expensive than last year. 💰💰💰It’s going to be a busy fall of fieldwork to reseed pastures that have winter killed over the past four years of drought and minimal snow cover. Fingers crossed we get moisture and they become bountiful again.

This weekend we’re going to take in the Bear Creek Folk Festival with family and friends, relax, recharge, and soak in our favourite weekend of the year!!

Unboxing our new banner! What do you think?
