The Farm (Updated August 21, 2010)
We are participating in the Open Farms car tour Sunday September 19, from 10am-4pm. Check out www.openfarms.ca for more information and for maps of local farms available to tour.
In addition to Limestone Stables we operate Earthrise Organic Farm (Pro-cert #020cppt797 c3-4).
We produce Certified organic milk for Organic Meadow a farmer owned co-operative (www.organicmeadow.com).
We milk 35 Holsteins and Jerseys. Our milk, cheese, butter, sour cream,and yoghurt etc can be purchased at most natural food stores and super markets. Our cows, under the National organic standards, are turned out everyday and are fed organic grass, hay and grains. We do not feed Soy nor use antibiotics or spray chemicals on our fields.
We are members of the National Farmers Union (http://www.nfu.ca/) and hosted the 2005 Feast of Fields(pictured right), an NFU event. We also belong to the Ecological Farmers Assoc of Ontario (http://www.efao.ca/).
Both organizations work for many important issues such as preserving the family farm, preserving farmland, seed saving, re-creating sustainable local food systems, and education for ecological farming practices to name a few.
We also produce and sell:
For two years now we have been home to 25 bee hives for Toba Apiary to increase pollination in our crops.
New for 2008, we are looking for more ways to become less dependant on oil on the farm. We are hoping to inco
rporate more Bio-dynamic farming methods as well.
