Bar P Ranch grass-finished beef is located 30 minutes south of Calgary at Nanton, Alberta. It is our family’s passion to raise beef for your table that promotes your health, intelligence and longevity without losing sight of tenderness and a tasty product. Our beef isn't certified organic, it is "beyond organic"! We promise you that our beef is free from hormones and antibiotics. These animals have never had grain or any animal by-products. The pasture these cattle graze on and the hay they eat has not had any chemical fertilizer applied. With our grass-fed and finished beef we strive for you to have the best eating experience.

Beef is harvested in the fall between the ages of 24-29 months of age after a spring, summer and fall of grazing on top quality grasses and legumes. They are processed at a local abattoir that is federally inspected. The beeves are dry-aged for a minimum of 21 days to ensure a tender, quality product.

The beef is available in quarters, halves or as a whole beef and is sold by the pound, hanging weight. Each half can be individually cut and customized to our customers’ wants and needs. You can order a whole, a half or a quarter and split it with friends or family. To order, contact us either via phone or email.

IFE, Icelandics for Ewe farms Icelandic sheep, a very lean meat with phenomenal flavor. One of the biggest differences in this breed is that there is NO smell in the meat, even in the older sheep (mutton).

All our animals are fed on non-chemical pasture grasses with the winter months on alfalfa hay, along with small amounts of timothy and other grasses mixed. Not one drop of grain is put into these sheep. The lambs reach market weight early on only mother's milk and the pasture she is on until she weans them.

The wool is a double coat and can grow to varying lengths. It is not unusual to get 5 to 9 inches or more. There are varying colors to choose from: blacks, moret (brown) greys, spotted, tricolour, etc. If you would like more information on these original animals, feel free to give us a call for a viewing, or e-mail us with your questions.

At this time, we can only sell live animals off the farm, but we can make arrangements to have the animals sent to an arbitor. Again, call for more information.

Medicine River Luings raises top quality grassfed beef as nature intended. The Luing cattle breed was developed in Scotland to produce high quality, well marbled beef on grass. Our beef is guaranteed free of growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides and feeds containing animal by-products.

Ranching in the beautiful Medicine River valley brings us the responsibility of being custodians of the sensitive riparian areas on our property. Management Intensive Grazing has benefited our seeded pastures and allowed our native / riparian areas to rebound from previous overgrazing. An increasing wildlife population seems to approve of the changes! Our cattle are moved to fresh, quality grass daily throughout the grazing season and in winter are fed a supplementary ration of hay or silage.

To ensure our beef is adequately marbled we only harvest cattle in October. We sell quarter, half, or whole carcases, cut to your specifications, wrapped, frozen and delivered to Calgary, Edmonton or locally. The processing plant can also turn some of your beef into delicious jerky or sausages.

We encourage you to order your beef early as we have a limited supply.

On TK Ranch we believe that nutrient-dense foods offer people a diet that supports good health and a strong immune system. We offer consumers dry-aged Alberta grass-fed beef, grass-fed lamb and heritage pasture raised pork. Our cattle and sheep are not fed any grain – we use the pasture model from birth to slaughter.

Our animals are born, raised and fed outside on large native grass pastures. Unlike organic and conventional grain finished beef and lamb, our animals are never confined in feedlots. Our animals never receive antibiotics, animal by-products, chemical insecticides, growth hormones or ionophores. Our land is never sprayed with chemical herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers.

We fence sensitive riparian habitat, use solar waterers and manage for endangered and threatened species. We are involved with wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and release. We have received several awards for our commitment to the environment including the 2010 National Prairie Conservation Award.

We also have a strong commitment to animal welfare – we calve and lamb during the warm spring and summer. We use freeze brands on our cattle, practice low stress livestock handling, and move our animals frequently onto fresh pastures. Our sows are not kept in farrowing or gestation crates – they are allowed to nest naturally and and are not separated from their piglets at any time. Their piglets are not weaned until 12 weeks of age. Our beef and pork (and soon lamb) is certified humane by the British Columbia SPCA. We use a small government inspected family owned abattoir and personally handle our animals right to slaughter to ensure they are treated humanely and with respect.

Our products are available retail in Airdrie, Calgary, Edmonton and Stony Plain in several health food stores. Customers can also order direct from us. We personally deliver to our customers located in Edmonton and Calgary and surrounding areas. We ship via refrigerated truck across Canada.

Trail's End Ranch is a fifth-generation family operation, raising grassfed beef the way it was done before the days of feedlots. The cattle spend summers grazing the beautiful Porcupine Hills, and winters on native prairie and hay land near Nanton, always with free access to pasture. They are fed and finished on only forage, not grain. We work the cattle from horseback, and try to keep their lives natural and stress-free. Through upgrades to the watering system and rotational grazing we conserve water and minimize impact on the land.

Although not certified organic, we follow organic vaccination protocol, the beef is hormone implant and antibiotic free, we control weeds by cutting or pulling by hand (no small chore!) rather than chemicals, and let the cattle do the fertilizing.

Contact us early to order mixed quarters, halves or whole beef, available in summer and fall. Customers pick up their provincially inspected beef orders at our small artisan butcher near Calgary. We also have a wide selection of nitrite, msg and gluten free sausages made professionally by an European sausage maker.

Big Bear Ranch, located near Horsefly in the beautiful Cariboo Region of Central BC, is family owned and operated. We are certified organic by PACS, but our understanding of organic includes more than what can be regulated.We believe in the importance of a holistic balance between land, animals and people. This starts with naturally fertile soil to grow a variety of healthy plants, which our animals graze to provide us with nutritious and great tasting meat. An organic place has to achieve sustainability through biodiversity in the landscape, in the plants and crops and in the species raised.

We don’t feed grain to ruminants and grass finish our beef with a rotational grazing system. Our humane animal husbandry includes low stress handling techniques and grazing on big pastures. We want the animals to be able to live as close as possible to Mother Nature’s plan: cows calve on green grass, pigs grow up in large pastures with trees and wallows, chicken and turkeys are truly raised free range and horses roam on big meadows.

We sell grass fed beef and pasture raised pork as a whole as well as in halves, quarters, and by the cut. Ground beef, European style Bratwurst and pet food are also available. Broadbreasted Bronze Turkeys are available in fall, but have to be preordered. Feel free to visit us at the ranch or have a look at our website.

Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm opened its doors in 1983. At first we made Gouda Cheese and Quark. Quark is a soft German style cream cheese. As the years passed, we expanded into making Spiced Gouda, Quaso de Prato, Maasdammer, Feta cheese and yogurt. We take pride in the fact that twenty years later our artisan cheese is Certified Organic (by the Pacific Agriculture Certification Society) and is delivered to a variety of locations in the Shuswap, Okanagan, and the lower mainland of British Columbia. Our cheese is also shipped throughout the rest of Canada via Canada Post. (See our website to order on line)

All our products are Certified Organic, but what makes our dairy products so special is that the milk comes from our very own Grass-fed Milking Shorthorns and Brown Swiss cows. The cows get 3 to 6 times more nutrients from grass, than milk from grain fed cows. The major fats present in Grass-fed cows milk are Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) and Omega-3 Fatty Acids. These are considered to be good Fats. Our cows are on Pasture from May until October. They are supplemented with Organic Hay the rest of the year.

Customers are encouraged to come visit our Family Farm, roam around and visit our cows and calves, sample our products or sit in our picnic area and enjoy a cup of Organic coffee and a piece of cheesecake or yogurt smoothie made with our own products in our kitchen. Coming Soon Gort's’ Cheese non-homogenized Grass-fed Organic milk sold in 2lt reusable glass bottles.

Morningstar Farm and Little Qualicum Cheeseworks are situated on a beautiful 68 heritage farm just minutes from downtown Qualicum Beach and Parksville. We have a herd of about 60 dairy cows that we milk morning and evening. During the day, when the pastures are drier, our girls are happily grazing while our cheese makers are processing that day's milk into one of our award winning cheeses!

You can watch them make cheese from one of our viewing windows. Come for a self guided tour or an organized group tour which includes a hay ride (weather permitting), informative stations around the farm and cheese tasting in our farm gate store.

Our store has our own home-grown pork and beef, free range eggs and lots of other farmy souvenirs. If you let us know a little further in advance, we could organize a party for you. Big or small, casual or out-door dining out on the front lawn, under the willow, down by the pond...sound peaceful? Our hours of business are:
March 1st - June 30th (Mon-Sat): 9 - 5 PM (parties can stay longer!)
July 1st - August 31st (Mon-Sun): 9 - 6 PM
September 1st - December 31st (Mon-Sat): 9 - 5 PM

Phil's Farm has been raising pastured poultry in strict adherence to the "Salatin method" since 1998. Chicks arrive at the farm one day old, and from then on I control everything they eat. Just as important, I control what they do not eat, such as no hormones and no antibiotics. After 21 days in the brooder, my chicks are feathered up and ready to move to pasture. This results in a superior tasting, humanely raised chicken.

I sell everything I grow at my farm, including blueberries and raspberries. The best way to contact me is by phone, also check out my website.

Our organic certification is through Fraser Valley Organic Producers Association. We also offer specialty products such as pepperoni, salami, breakfast sausage, farmer sausage, and more.

Our cows, pigs, and chickens are never confined, and they have vast mountain-top pasture-lands to forage on. Because our beef is 100% grass-fed & finished, the quality of the meat is exceptional, and the flavor is unsurpassed. Our pork is also delicious and filled with healthy nutrients, because the animals are raised outside, in the sunshine, on grass. Plus, our meat products are more nutrient-dense, and they are packed with healthful Omega-3's... all of which is healthier for you, your family, and the planet.

As a young family we worry a lot about the food our kids eat, so in turn we do our very best to raise a natural, quality product that we are proud to feed our family. No hormones are used, all the animals are cared for humanely. We were one of the first farms in Manitoba to be Certified by the Winnipeg Humane Society. Making a living right off the farm is so extremely difficult for young farmers. That is why we as a family are committed to try and do something different to change that. Marketing directly to the consumer allows us to maintain a connection with the families that we supply and keep a sustainable business.

HotSun Elk Company raises elk and beef cattle in natural surroundings on a grass and forage diet.

• We treat the animals once a year with anti-parasite medications, but use no other medications.We raise our animals in a low-stress, natural environment and treat them humanely from birth to market.We protect our streams and other natural water sources from harmful animal impact.We manage the grazing pattern of our animals to enhance the growth of the pasture, the health of the land, and the nutritional value of our products. To do this, we take into account the specific soil conditions, vegetation, altitude, growing season, and temperature range of our climate. When high-quality pasture is not available, we feed the animals stored grasses, which can include hay, haylage, and grass silage. We do not treat our animals with hormones.
• We do not treat our animals with routine, low-level antibiotics. Those animals that we do treat with antibiotics due to health problems or injury are removed from the program.

We usually process all our animals in the late spring and summer – that’s when the grass and other forages are growing most rapidly and so are the elk and cattle. New growth is always the most tender and delicious. By autumn, our elk begin their breeding season, start losing weight and meat quality deteriorates. If you thought elk taken in the hunting seasons was good, wait ‘til you taste it from the prime season!We supply naturally produced meat products, including:

• Beef burgerAll cuts of elk meat
• Elk sausages – several types (let us know what you like)

New Brunswick

At Circle "S" Farm we have a mixed farming operation where we try to work with nature in the raising of crops and animals. Our beef cattle are certified organic and are totally grass fed with our own certified organic pasture, hay and silage. We also have pastured pork and poultry which are not certified organic.

We feed non-organic grain at the moment which has no antibiotics and is non GMO. Since grain makes up the lions share of the diet for both the pigs and chickens, the purchase of organic feed would push the price higher than most would be willing to pay. We give no growth hormones to our animals and all are healthy and happy. We prefer selling the beef by the side or quarter, the pork by the side and the poultry whole. We also have certified organic potatoes, rutabagas (turnips), and raspberries in season.

If you would like to come for a farm visit, have any questions about our farming operation, or are interested in price or availability of product, please feel free to contact us.

At Baer's Natural Beef, in the London, Ontario area, our grassfed beeves live a full, natural life. They are born on this acreage, stay with their mothers, and are weaned onto grass, hay and haylage until they are ready for harvest. The animals are fed exclusively grasses and legumes, which they forage for themselves in the summer, and are supplemented with Kelp Meal, natural trace mineral salt and certified organic minerals.

We follow organic practices carefully, but are not 'Certified Organic.' To our knowledge, this land has never had chemicals applied. We came here in 1989, and removed most of the hawthorn trees in order to better grow grass. Our rotational grazing system minimizes the use of energy burning machinery, making this one of the ‘greenest’ ways to produce high protein, healthy grassfed beef.

Our beef is available by the side, (approximately 300 pounds), warm dressed weight (before processing, in which case it can be cut to your specifications) OR purchase a representative sample, i.e., some of each: roasts, steaks, ground beef, soup bones, stewing beef, sausage, etc., in 25, 50, or 100-pound packages.

CW Acres is a 167-acre ecological farm located in Caistor Centre, Ontario.

Our philosophy is to emulate nature itself. From the moment our calves are born, they are able to freely roam the pastures with the herd on stress-free fields of grass, which they will spend the rest of their lives on. Our cattle are never vaccinated, and never treated with growth hormones or antibiotics, no grain or corn supplements—just a lot of tender care. We deliver our own cattle to the abattoir in our livestock trailer. From start to finish we look after our cattle.

Have you ever questioned where your beef comes from? When you purchase beef products from CW Acres, you are supporting nature’s way of beef production. It’s the healthiest, leanest and most nutritious choice for beef.

Century Game Park has been a family farm since 1837, five generations taking a diversified approach to farming. Inspired by a book called "Grassland" by Richard Manning, we believe that the bison and elk can provide an abundance of food naturally raised for taste and tenderness.

A holistic approach to farming allows us to utilize the grassland to its highest potential and bring forth a harvest of quality meat products that everyone can enjoy. Not only do the bison produce fine food, but leather products as well such as gloves and moccasins.

Tours of the farm are available from May 24th until October 31st. Enjoy a trip through the herds as calves frolic and play. Bring buffalo back home to your table tonight. Encourage the rebuilding of the original cattle by enjoying them.

4 Ponds Farm is where the Probst Family maintains a purebred herd of Scottish Highland cattle. They are grass-fed and naturally raised without hormones, antibiotics or pesticides. This breed is very well adapted and has been kept true to form since recorded history, never loosing their ability to thrive on grass alone. Furthermore, studies show that Highland beef is lower in fat and cholesterol and higher in protein and iron than other beef. The result is richly flavoured and well-marbled beef.

Our beef is dry aged for 21 days and is cut and wrapped to your specifications by the half, and is picked up locally in the Cambridge area. Our animals are generally 18 months old or younger and the sides weigh from 175 to 275 lbs.

The animals are available in the fall after the pasture season. We do take orders all year long due to a limited supply. Sometimes we have a half available from our freezer as well as hamburger by the pound all year long. Occasionally we have whole frozen Muscovy ducks, raised free range where they get a significant part of their diet from insects and grass.

Grass Roots Beef at Hillview Farm is 100% grass fed. The Canadian Galloway cattle are raised on the pastures of a family farm and are fed only a natural diet of pasture and hay. While grazing they are rotated through the pastures of Hillview Farm in southern Grey County, two hours northwest of Toronto.

Managed intensive grazing techniques maximize the quality of the naturally occurring grasses and clovers and help protect the environment by preserving grasslands and habitat for wild life. The hay grown on Hillview Farm is fed during the winter months. No antibiotics, hormones or additives of any kind are fed, and no herbicides are used in this totally grass fed diet. The water from the farm well is pumped to each of the pastures allowing the cattle to drink the same water we do.

Only low-stress, humane cattle management techniques are used on Hillview Farm and visitors enjoy watching the herd being quietly led to new pastures, and grazing fresh grass in familiar surroundings.

While grass finished cattle take a little longer to get to their finished weight than cattle in feedlots, we take the time. Their meat becomes healthier, lower in saturated fats, higher in Omega 3 and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). A 100% grass fed diet also leads to increased levels of Beta Carotene, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C in the beef. Some doctors have begun recommending grass finished beef to families.

The cattle’s rate of growth and quality of their meat will be determined by their natural diet and the richness of their environment, not drugs and food additives.

Grass Roots Beef animals are processed at a nearby small family owned abattoir under government inspection and regulation, then dry aged to maximize the natural flavour benefits of grass finished cattle.

At Still Hope Farm our animals are raised on a natural diet of grasses and legumes which are never sprayed with herbicides or pesticides. They are rotated through a series of pastures every 2 to 4 days, giving them constant access to a fresh "salad bar." Their pasture is only supplemented with sea kelp, trace mineral salt mined from an ancient sea bed, and food-grade minerals; they receive no growth promotants, hormones, or antibiotics.

We strive to maintain a stress-free environment for cattle and handlers, which helps to ensure meat tenderness. Our aim is to produce, in an environmentally and ecologically sound manner, a tasty and tender beef which will actually enhance the health of humans and our planet.

Certified Organic* Grass-fed Beef – Our Dexter cattle are a smaller breed known for their ability to convert pasture into healthy meat. Because they are smaller framed, they yield smaller cuts more appropriate for today's palates. Beef is available as sides, split sides, "$100" boxes," and individual cuts. Because sides are most economical to prepare and handle, ordering a side saves you the most money. Sides are cut according to your specifications. All meat is cut, wrapped, and fast-frozen in a provincially inspected facility. Sides range from 150 to 250 lbs. A split side is half the amount of a side, combining cuts from front and back."$100 boxes" contain a combination of 2 or 3 roasts, 2 or 3 packages of steak, and ground beef. The actual price of each box will vary, depending on its specific contents. Buying a box gives you a discount of 10% off the price of individual cuts.

Certified Organic (by Pro-Cert) Poultry – These chickens and turkeys are raised outdoors on green grass and organic grain mix. They receive no growth promotants, hormones, or antibiotics. They are only available for sale at the farm. Send us an email to receive a flyer for price information, or give Chris Litster a call.

Both the pigs and chickens live outside as soon as they are old enough to tolerate weather extremes. This is about 8 weeks of age for the pigs, and 5 weeks of age for the chickens. Both are raised on green, grass pastures, with run-in sheds for shelter at any time. All grain is locally grown and is non-GMO. The livestock is processed by local abattoirs that are provincially inspected. Their entire lives are spent in a stress-free environment with as much sun, fresh air, and non-GMO feed as they wish to eat, along with our fresh well-water. We achieve an especially nutrient-dense meat loaded with healthy fat and flavour with the addition of micro-nutrients including kelp and diatomaceous earth.

Meat is cut, frozen and freezer-wrapped when you pick-up in the fall. We provide a 5-day notice of when your meat will be ready to pick-up. Meat MUST be picked up that day. We are an easy 40-minute drive from Toronto, straight up Highway 400. We are 5 minutes off the highway, between the Cookstown and Barrie exits.

Bennett Beef markets pasture-finished beef.

The Bennetts, like most grassfarmers, practice "management intensive grazing." Their farm is divided into 50 separate fields called "paddocks," which allows the animals to be rotated every day or so to clean, fresh grass. This "pulsed" grazing helps create optimum growth of the grass.

The meat is harvested in October and is available in halves or in smaller quantities by arrangement. Orders are taken throughout the year. "We encourage you to place your order early to avoid disappointment."

Cool Springs Ranch - Pasture-to-plate Grass-Raised Foods

At Cool Springs we raise 100% Grass-fed Beef, Pastured Pork, Pastured Chicken,Turkey and Eggs, as well as a line of Grass-fed Raw Meat & Dairy Pet Food. In August 2010 we opened a small, on-farm Health Inspected Butchery where we can cut and process the meat into healthy cuts, burgers, sausages and other "real ingredient" products, as well as bulk packages.

Although we are not "certified," we welcome you to the farm to understand just how "beyond organic" functions. The animals naturally stay healthy by moving to fresh pasture daily and through the quality of their feed and supplements quality—there is no use for chemicals, antibiotics, hormones or vaccines on our farm! We are very conscious of using low-stress handling of the animals, including zero-stress pasture-harvesting.

There are presently two ways to purchase from us: visit our farm, or through our webstore where we will deliver to Drop-Points en-route and in Saskatoon and Regina. Please read up about how they work.

And FYI, one of the great inspirations for our farm has been through becoming a member of the Weston A Price Foundation. We encourage everyone to broaden their education on Good Food, Good Farming and the Healing Arts at www.westonaprice.org

Daleview Farm is located in the middle of grain-growing country in Saskatchewan, but the Dales valiantly produce grassfed beef, pork and poultry.

"We're really bucking the tide." They first started pasturing their animals many years ago as a way to cut costs. Then they began to notice the many benefits to the animals and to their own health. Now they are committed grassfarmers with a holistic approach to ranching.

Most of the meat is available in the fall only. Beef is available in halves or whole carcasses.

K2 Elk Company has been raising grass-fed Elk since 2001.

Our animals are managed on pastures year-round. They are rotationally grazed in summer, and supplemented with hay on pasture in winter. During winter we provide portable windbreaks for shelter. Our Elk are raised without hormones or antibiotics. We do not feed grain, animal byproducts, or processed feeds. We do not use pesticides on our pastures or hayfields. When handling the animals, we use low stress techniques that are proven and very effective.

New season product is available in August. The animals are processed at a new provincially inspected facility, a short distance from where they are raised. Products include jerky, sausage, hamburgers, steaks and roasts.

Ranch tours are welcome.

Whole Beef Ranch. Our family is committed to using the Holistic Management decision process to restore the vitality of communities and the natural resources on which they depend. We have been using this process for more than ten years. Land and water resources have improved under our care, and the outcome is healthier and safer food.

In addition to improving our resources, we are concerned about your health. Recent studies show that diets with higher levels of omega-3 versus omega-6 fatty acids (FA) lower the risk of cancer, heart problems and obesity. Research shows that cattle, bison, sheep, and other ruminants fed grain--even organic grain—rather than grass will have two to six times more omega-6 than omega-3 FA.

Tenderness in beef comes from many factors. Many are surprised to learn that fat in the muscle from grain-fed animals only contributes 10–15% towards the tenderness of beef. Genetics contribute 30%. The remainder is a result of how the meat is processed.

Our beef are processed with care. For instance, the meat is aged three weeks or more before it is cut and wrapped. And tenderness—we guarantee it! We take care with our animals from birth to your table. They are raised as naturally as our environment will allow. They receive no artificial hormones, drugs or grain, and they are not "confined" at any time. Our animals are free to roam and have access to fresh forage nearly every day.

We offer any quantity of product you desire and guarantee it.
