Hi there! We have a number of new faces here so we thought we would take a brief moment to introduce ourselves and provide you with some updates.
We are your neighbourhood organic grass-fed, grass finished beef farmers. We have grown over the years and now offer, beef, pork, lamb, chicken and turkey direct to consumer. We offer everything through our online store which you can find HERE. For us, it all comes back to our why... not only do we want to provide you with the best quality and best tasting food we also want to maintain our pillars: - Healthy Soil: We believe that healthy soils grow healthy foods and is one of the reasons we move our animals to different pasture regularly (rotational grazing). As the ground improves, the
grass improves, then the cattle eat the grass and fertilize the land, and the soil continues to improve. This is a healthy ecosystem cycle, and it is what we do here at Vibrant Farms. As one of the longest certified farms in the area, our land has been free of chemicals and GMO's for over thirty years. The grass that the animals eat is 'clean' and nutrient-dense which we think matters a lot - after all, you are what your meat eats!
- Happy Animals, Born & Raised On-farm: Our goal is to raise animals from beginning to end in a humane, caring, healthful way which shows respect to the animal throughout its life. Every
calf is born and raised on the farm which eliminates the need for vaccinations, antibiotics and medications. By feeding the cattle grass instead of grains, we are working with the animals digestive system instead of against it since they were made to eat grass - not grains. Our animals are raised outdoors on organic pasture from spring right into the colder months where they are moved into a warm, open farm with access to the outdoors. The abattoir we have worked with for 10+ years is one of
the only animal welfare approved facilities in Ontario - which means they must ensure the animals are well cared for, comfortable, and not stressed.
- Healthy Nourishment For Your Body: our goal is to produce a
product that is high in nutrition, quality, and taste. Grass-fed beef is one of the most nutrient-dense proteins you can eat and contains more vitamins and minerals, omega 3 fatty acids, and CLA than grain-fed beef. These nutrients help to provide healthy nourishment for you, your family and your life!
- Building Community: Through supporting the local food movement we can build a sense of community by connecting us to each other
and in turn we gain a sense of place or connectedness with the earth and where our food comes from. Buying direct from the farm also helps to build a stronger local food community and creates positive economic impact
in your own community. We also value working with local farmers to help them to grow and encourage consumers to ask questions about how the meat is raised - to really 'know their farmer'.
This year we are focusing on maintaining our practices and learning from you. We want to know what you love and what we can improve on. We love when customers have questions and want to engage in their food and learn what goes into it and where it comes from. We have changed some timing of our offerings. They are as follows: - Bulk beef - operating on a 3 week cycle (individual cuts available on the online store as well)
- Bulk pork: 2 shipments per year - fall and early spring
- Bulk lamb: 1 shipment per year - Fall
- Turkey - for Thanksgiving and Christmas. (individual cuts available on the online store)
