This means fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides are required to grow the crop. While application of fertilizers may get a decent yield, the profit margin is eaten up by the expense of the inputs. The food grown today, on average is over 50% lower in mineral content than it was in the 70’s and we’re filling our waterways with toxic algae blooms due to polluted runoff. In an effort to promote diversity on our farm, we have planted 3,200 trees, dug a ½ acre pond (with plans for additional wetland areas), planted a small fruit orchard and replaced the former crop rotation with permanent perennial pasture for rotational grazing of livestock. These 3 core ecosystems, (grassland, woodland and aquatic) encourage the habitation of local wildlife. This includes birds, bees, rabbits, frogs, snails, worms... big or small, we’ve got it all! The robust diversity of both flora and fauna means there are multiple different predators and/or competitors for any problematic pest species. The diverse ecosystem has a tendency towards balance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/8cb51ee9-e985-476c-86a0-446eedce491a/Pig+Grapes.jpg Our Practices - Pigs Our pigs are pasture raised and rotationally grazed. We migrate our pigs across our pasture over the season. They get a brand new 5,000-10,000 square foot paddock every 5 days. This gives the pigs new forage, roots, and grubs to enjoy while also leaving their old bathroom behind them and preventing the pigs from impacting (digging up) the land too much. By moving the pigs regularly, and not allowing them to wallow in their own feces, we reduce parasite and disease transmission. This allows us to completely remove the use of medication, antibiotics, and pesticides. In fact, to control pests, our pigs are followed by chickens. Chickens like to peck and scratch nearly as much as pigs like to dig. The chickens peck through the pig’s dung and consume the fly larvae which has been laid by manure flies. This provides the chickens with a free high protein feed which they prefer, while simultaneously controlling the fly population keeping the pigs happy. Our pigs are fed a non-GMO ration which is fermented in fresh, grass-fed jersey cow milk each day while they are young. We finish the pigs over their final 6-8 weeks on fresh, local fruit including apples, peaches, pears, plums and grapes. This produces exceptional marbling and the one-of-a-kind flavour Hog Wild pork is known for! Because pigs are a mono-gastric animal (one stomach), what they eat or at least some of the flavonoids of what they eat accumulates in their fat, thereby impacting the flavour. Garbage in, garbage out as they say. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/ff56eaab-081a-474b-ba67-125920abaf42/IMG_1388.JPG Our Practices - Cattle Our beef is grass fed, grass finished black angus. We practice rotational grazing with our cattle, which means we use electric fencing to define an area with enough grass to feed our herd for one day. If the paddock is sized correctly, the cattle will evenly graze the pasture grasses to a length of 3-4”. We move them to a new area every day. We allow a minimum of 75 days recovery before allowing the cattle to return to a grazed paddock. The result is fast growing, dense and luscious pastures. Because the cattle are moved so frequently, they cannot overgraze and destroy the pasture. Since no heavy cutting equipment is run across our pasture, the local wildlife are free to co-habitat with our beef cattle. The welcoming bird songs accompany us on our daily moves in the field. Our cattle are not fed any corn or grain products. They receive a solarized sea salt mineral supplement containing 90 trace minerals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/1648847650891-BCMC2K8FBKHPGM830EKW/unsplash-image-4W8FgDVyUME.jpg Our Practices - Chicken Coming July 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/1648847694341-GL574KH5F4EHIYUPA1D8/unsplash-image-aKzbk5WB0GY.jpg Our Practices - Honey Coming Fall 2022 https://www.farmacare.com/fitness-physio daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/b80d29bf-5ef7-48d2-9fcc-7c1e3b6683ff/_THG4792.jpg Fitness & Physio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/2c02719f-1ecf-4305-b720-94ac314f43ac/_THG4720.jpg Fitness & Physio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/6d04ab86-b606-467f-8c3d-22771eb2d8cd/_THG4728.jpg Fitness & Physio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/c739c13d-025b-4b9b-a0f1-64c0b133c083/_THG4824.jpg Fitness & Physio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/95367019-0fbe-4b12-9a3c-55ea747c1a01/_THG4858.jpg Fitness & Physio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/308174d0-d5f6-4e2f-8d8f-9ae977f31fcc/yoga+image.jpg Fitness & Physio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/a6dc9524-bfc6-468b-8199-e8ab60c11d23/_THG4779.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/0e5b3878-fb4a-4b07-b9cd-971ba615f9ae/_THG4710.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/c13cbb29-e8da-420e-a74d-e3543221f907/Headshot.gif https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/2ad1fb83-27ac-48e2-8d32-52b5a6de15a0/Gill+Headshot.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/80048a13-0b01-4752-8760-9906d2b6c25f/B_C185_Fused.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/a5ec59c8-ffd6-4bdc-aa52-d6a5cc653a98/_THG4728.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/3eec790b-afd8-42e7-88d8-120e1c28eb97/_THG4724.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/eaf8da0b-abc0-4092-93e3-6e6e70b5bb00/_THG4816.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600eff37c8a01716d6b36e94/e7dae7b7-d2b1-43d5-8298-32482bd8abd7/_THG4867.jpg
