Peter has been cooking up some delicious meals this winter. We will now have naturally smoked German wieners packaged and available at the Antigonish Farmers Market, Pan Cape Breton Food Hub and at the farm gate. We still have a few whole chickens frozen and packaged and available only at the farm gate.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas Eve ! Peter is celebrating with his own traditional German wieners and North German potato salad. This is a Christmas Eve traditional meal in Germany. Everything made by Peter tonight and even our own greens from the greenhouse.

Peter preparing the daily hot meal for pampered Berkshires! Cabbage, carrots and potatoes on the menu today!

Smoked curry sausage and turmeric pickled eggs on a sharing board for two to wind down the week.

Loving the fall days on the Bio Farm!

Peter will be at the market in Mabou this morning! Also, our meat king whole chickens are packaged, frozen and ready for pick up.

Come and join us at the Baddeck farmers market on this beautiful day!

As summer ends and we move into fall .I would like to thank all our many customers over the years .We have farmed hogs on a large commercial scale for 3 genera...tion on our family farm but there comes a time when enough is enough.The hog business is trying at the best of times .We have downscaled by 80% now and will be winding up all hog sales by Dec -Jan as we move our farm in a different direction. Most have no idea how many hogs and small pigs we supplied to local butchers ,sold to local farmers in all the maritime provinces and the tens of thousands that went to federal inspected plants in Quebec,Ontario and into the USA.The last few years have been extremely challenging and we have grown tired of labour issues , depressed pricing and the endless pointless work that has been tried to sustain a hog industry in Nova Scotia. Large corporations have drove centralization of food processing and they have control of the food industry not to the benefit of farmers .Local farms will continue to scratch out a small income and feed a small fragment of the population but the cities are fed by corporations .Next time anyone goes to a local farm be thankful they are there and instead of trying to beat him down to his last dollar pay the set price or don't buy, same as you would do at Costco, Walmart ,Amazon,or any restaurant.
