Versatile, nutritious and delicious! Our grass-fed/finished ground beef is a great solution to have on hand for suppers, lunches and more! We are loving our taco salads in the heat of the summer or when we just don’t know what to make (you know that feeling right? )... Simply grab a couple pounds of our grass-fed ground beef fry it up with a homemade taco seasoning and add it to fresh lettuce, peppers, avocado, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, onions and some nacho chips. It’s a family favourite! Some other ways our family loves to use ground beef: homemade burger patties hamburger noodle soup spaghetti sauce casseroles meatloaf stuffed peppers shepherds pie zucchini boats chilli nachos I could go on, but I will stop now Definitely an item to keep stocked in the freezer; make sure to get yours while our supply lasts! We will have our grass-fed ground beef at the Farmers Market tomorrow Saturday, August 15 from 10-2pm, on the west hill behind United Floors. See you there! #grassfedbeef #peacecountryfarmers #northernroots #smallfamilyfarms #locallyraised #happyhealthycows #knowyourfarmer

Market Day Tomorrow! Come see your favourite vendors at the Peace River Farmers’ Market July 25, 2020 from 10-2pm, behind Modern Paint. Social distancing and sanitization efforts in place. We will have some new scents of our felted wool soap; perfect for the gardener, kids bath, or anyone that needs an extra scrub. ... Wool is naturally anti-bacterial and acts as a gentle exfoliator for your skin while washing. Each bar is made with a variety of healthy oils and lightly scented with essential oils to make a rich lather for everyday use. The felted wool shrinks as it is used and helps the soap to last longer than "naked" soap. The best part is afterwards when the soap is gone you are left with the wool pad which can be used as a scrubby for cleaning, an essential oil sachet for your car, drawers or whatever you can dream up! As always we will have a select variety of our farm goods grown, raised and made right on Northern Roots Family Farm. * Grass-fed/finished beef * Handmade beeswax wraps * Wool dryer balls * Handspun yarn * Aromatherapy mists * Handcrafted soap * And more! Hope to see you all tomorrow!

Northern Roots FAMILY Farm It was so important to include that word family in the name of our farm. Because when it comes running a small scale farm; it is all about family. ... Our boys Benjamin and Charlie are right there with us every step of the way. The highs, the lows and all the messy stuff in between. Each contributing in their own way to help grow food, tend to animals and care for the land. From collecting eggs, weeding in the garden, collecting berries, feeding the animals, hauling water, helping to extract honey and so on. Thanks to all of our family members that have helped and contributed to our farm as well; grandparents, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, neighbours and customers. We couldn’t be doing any of this without your help, love and support. #northernroots #familyfarm #startthemyoung #backtoourroots #helpingout #familytime #growfood #shareitwithothers #dowhatyoulove #northernalbertafarmers #lifeskills #raisingyoungmen #brothers See more

Strawberry fields forever ...... Finally got a break from the rain and showers to go berry picking at our favourite U-pick berry farm. I look forward to this time of year, just me and my buckets. I often spend the day thinking of my grandmothers; Olga and Pearl and their epic berry picking skills and remember all the different ways they utilized their berries. ... I see strawberry jam, dehydrated strawberries for trail mix, frozen strawberries for future smoothies and baking and fresh strawberries on homemade ice cream in our future #freshberries #strawberries #haskap #nosprayupick #berrypicker #itrunsinthefamily #strawberryfieldsforever See more
