Heritage Harvest Farm, Organic Produce CSA and Preserve CSA - Heritage Harvest Farm is located on 36 acres near Merrickville, Ontario. Our goal is to create a CSA model farm that provides a full and interesting diet. We have designed our farm around our desire to pasture raise animals the way nature intended. All of our animals are pasture raised and all are raised in a loving stress free environment. We are an Organic farm and are able to provide our own compost and all of our own hay. Any grains needed are purchased from Homestead Organics. On our farm we supply all of our own dairy, pork, beef, chicken, eggs, fruit, vegtables and maple syrup. 

• CSA Shares run for sixteen weeks each. Each week they include a variety of different types of delicious vegetables. We are a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm. Our members support us by buying a share, which is a season's worth of vegetables purchased in advance. This investment enables us to pay for seeds and labor at the time we need it most. Members pick up their produce once a week from the farm or another of our distribution locations. Each share is designed to feed two adults, with plenty left over. Full Family Shares are available. Please inquire for pricing.

• Our Summer 2012 Share runs from May 3 to August 17 and includes the cool season vegetables of spring as well as the full bounty of summer. You can expect everything from greens to herbs to tomatoes, peppers, carrots, squash and onions.

Kricklewood Farm had its beginnings in Atlanta Georgia with a goat cheesemaking workshop at a local Saanen Dairy.  We discovered the qualities of goat milk soap and the business idea was born:  Goat Milk soap in a variety of scents including Lavender, Cinnamon Oatmeal and Rosemary MInt.  Since then we've also expanded into goat milk fudge:  Maple Cinnamon, Chocolate and Peanut Butter are the favourites.  Inaddition to goat milk soap and fudge, we offer organic free range chicken and duck eggs, seasonal produce cut flowers and beeswax candles.  We also offer farm-inspired art cards  and framed prints featuring some of the animals on the farm: Pitou the pot-bellied pig, the Nubian goats, chickens and Muscovy ducks.  

Maureen & Elizabeth moved to the Eastern Ontario in 2002 and took up farming in Balderson. On this sweet meadow of clay/loam soil, we grow a wide variety of vegetables, with some herbs and raspberries. All of our crops are certified organic by Procert(#1026). Consumers can purchase our vegetables at the Perth Farmers Market, at Foodsmiths and Coutts Country Store. If you are an Ottawa resident you can find our vegetables at Nicastro's on Bank Street and through Ottawa Organics.

Ferme Ouellete has a long history. First established in 1852 by the Mather family, Patrick and Caroline Ouellette purchased the Century Farm in 2002, and immediately began setting down roots.
Patrick and Caroline believe strongly that traditional farming is the best way to do business – best for humans, best for animals, and best for the environment. Caroline, who comes from a long line of farmers, credits her mother and grandmother with instilling in her a deep understanding and respect for nature that is reflected in everything she does.  Patrick’s niche is his horses. He readily admits he would rather work with his team than on his tractor and says he finds peace and quiet in the sound of their breathing. Patrick’s respect and fondness for his horses can work magic and the horses always respond and reciprocate.
The love and dedication Caroline and Patrick put in everything they do is evident to anyone who visits Ferme Ouellette Farm. They sell at the Farmgate on Saturday and Sunday, 10 AM to 5 PM April to December.

In 2007, Kristine Swaren and Malcolm Williams brought a shared love of the land together to work with Mother Nature in a beautiful valley in Lanark Highlands. Malcolm's bees produce golden honey from native wildflowers, trees and the garden plants. Malcolm also makes furniture from cedar, ironwood and maple harvested from the 170-acre property. Kristine trained with an herbalist and a biodynamic farmer and works with Canadian Organic Growers.

In the photo are some of the WWOOFers who help on the farm (WWOOF=World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) - we welcome local exchange-help as well.

Blue Chicory Garden's organic products are available at the farm gate and McDonald's Corners Farmers Market. We are committed to being local farmers to our neighbours and nearby communities.

Production methods include the use of compost and cover crops to improve soil health, and the incorporation of biodynamic and permaculture practices. Kristine and Malcolm are members of the Canadian Organic Growers, Lanark Organic Growers Guild, and Lanark County Slow Food.
