Farm / The Farm on Dead Horse Flats & Peace River Petals
Farm Type: Mixed
Region
NorthTown
Bay TreeThe Farm on Dead Horse Flats & Peace River Petals is a mixed-use farm. We raise cattle and pigs with regenerative techniques, as well as operate a small-scale flower farm, market garden, and UPICK. Growing animals and plants in a Northern environment brings a lot of challenges and we are up to the task!
We manage our land without the use of any pesticides or herbicides. We believe that with careful attention to the land, it will tell you what is needed. Over time, our pastures will be grazed by the cattle using AMP-grazing methods (Adaptive Multi-Paddock), which will ultimately feed the soil and return it to its former glory. Our gardens are managed using beneficial insects and feeding the natural biology of the soil through intentional cover-cropping and animal inputs. Happy soil = happy plants & animals!
We focus primarily on raising heritage breeds of pigs and cattle, as they are more suitable to our unforgiving climate and harsh winters. Grass-fed and pasture-raised, these animals are given the best possible life before their one inevitable bad day.
Beef & Pork sales will begin soon!
