Welcome to Rosewood Farm
Got a Farmer?
According to
Toronto writer Margaret Webb, everyone should really have their own farmer. In her book "Apples to Oysters", she advocates, “We all have our lawyers and our financial adviser and our own doctor—but we should really have our own farmers.” In an interview for CBC radio, she said, “Imagine having a business relationship with a farmer. Or maybe two or three, each of whom produces something different. You would place your orders directly with the farmer. You would pay the farmer. Maybe you would visit the farmer. Or maybe--the farmer would deliver. When you go to market gardens or order your food directly from the producers, the producer gets paid the real value of the commodity. And they get all of it. Some of that income is seed money for next year. This seed money is a key part of sustainability for small producers.”
Rosewood Farm is a small family-run farm where we treat our animals with respect and try to make them as comfortable as possible. We do not practice 'confinement operations'. Our livestock roam freely in treed pastures that provide shade in the summer and protection from the wind in the winter. Their waste is dispersed throughout our pastures, putting natural nutrients back into the soil.
- We offer premium-quality grass-fed beef products—all antibiotic and hormone free. Because we farm on a small scale and because our premium beef is in high demand, there may be a wait list for our meat products.
- All our meat is government inspected and processed by a local professional butcher
- We use no medicated feed
- We grow and feed our own natural grass hay , produced without herbicides or pesticides
- Depending on location, home delivery of meat orders may be available
