The rocky Canadian Shield soil was forest-covered: white pine, oak, maple. For the immigrants trying to establish a farm, the mighty trees were a serious problem: they needed cleared land, and the easiest way they knew to deal with the forest was to set fire to it.<br />This style of agriculture has been practiced since antiquity. From a present day perspective, the ecological cost to the ecosystem is far too great to justify it. But settlers were desperate for food and unable to adapt quickly from the version of agriculture they had known in Europe. So the forest fires in Lanark County burned, some literally for years.<br />A forgiveness is needed here. As humans we are able to act quickly and have immense impact on ecosystems. Our brains, much as we think so highly of&nbsp; them, seem less capable of foreseeing the consequences of our actions, and our hearts are not always large enough to care about the bigger picture, or the future, or other humans, present and future, or other species.<br />The settlers soon learned that the soil under the oaks was thin. Rock close to the surface, crops that grew well only for a few years and thereafter dwindled as the soil nutrients were used up. Yet the human imperative continued: a farm of 100 acres was expected to have 12 cows (plus offspring) if the farmer was to be respected in society.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-products"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Products:&nbsp;</div> <p><strong>Organic vegetables, wide range:</strong><br />Kingston Market<br />Saturdays from May 1 to Nov 1<br />Tues. and Thurs. from Aug. 1 to Thanksgiving</p> <p><strong>CSA Weekly Vegetable Boxes: &nbsp;</strong><br />20 weeks of veggies from late June to end Oct.<br />Large shares-$500 per season, small shares $320.<br />Perth: Wednesday afternoons, delivered anywhere in Perth or on my route in to Perth<br />Kingston: Pickup at Kingston Market Sat. morn. before noon<br />We also sell some produce through Foodsmiths in Perth, Ont.</p> <p><strong>Organic&nbsp; Tamworth Pork</strong></p> <p><strong>Pork freezer orders:</strong><br />1/2: custom cut to your specifications; appr. 100 lbs.<br />Variety packs: 20 lbs. and 50 lbs.</p> <p>Sausage--farmer&#39;s and Hot Italian<br />Check availability for lard, rendered and not rendered</p> <p>Purebred Tamworth weaner pigs.</p> </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="https://lanarklocalflavour.ca/content/ravensfield-farm" target="_blank">read more</a></p> dried herbs meat fresh herbs goat pork eggs root vegetables garlic and onions other Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:20:16 +0000 Ravensfield 688 at https://lanarklocalflavour.ca Funny Duck Farms https://lanarklocalflavour.ca/content/funny-duck-farms <div class="field field-type-text field-field-role-question"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Are you:&nbsp;</div> a local farm </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-contact-person"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Contact person:&nbsp;</div> Aaron and Samantha Klinck </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-phone"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Phone number:&nbsp;</div> 613-275-1917 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-email"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Email address:&nbsp;</div> [email protected] </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-link field-field-website"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Website address:&nbsp;</div> <a href="http://funnyduckfarms.com" target="_blank">http://funnyduckfarms.com</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-location"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Location:&nbsp;</div> 963 Morrison Road, R.R. #3 Jasper </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-community"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Closest community:&nbsp;</div> Eastons Corners/Jasper </div> </div> </div> <p>Welcome to Funny Duck Farms! We are a small, diverse, certified organic farm that does <em>not </em>use any soybeans in our animal feeds. We are striving to create a sustainable system wherein we produce all our livestock feeds on farm, and traditionally grain fed animals (like pigs and chickens) are converted to forage eating instead. Out in our pastures and woodlands are where you will find our laying hens, ducks, broilers and heritage pigs, beef &amp; dairy cows. Pasture raised animals provide excellent, nutritious food for people without harming the land, the environment, or resorting to the use of chemicals and medications. All of our certified organic feed rations used to supplement our animals are free of soybeans. We are pleased to be Canada&#39;s only year round certified organic Whole Farm CSA. Our CSA runs 50 weeks of the year. Shares include a bit of everything grown on the farm: certified organic beef, pork, chicken, duck, lamb, all you can eat eggs, honey, maple syrup, veggies, some fruits, and herbs both culinary and medicinal. We have limited spaces for the 2016 season, please contact us if you would like to be on our waiting list.</p> <p>Funny Duck Farms is a family owned and operated 224 acre farm Certified Organic by ProCert-Organic Systems.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-products"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Products:&nbsp;</div> <p>Our farm fresh foods are available through our Whole Farm CSA only. We also offer an&nbsp;Organic &amp; Natural Food Co-op buying club. Farm tours can be arranged if you would like to learn more about how the sun is connected to the grass and soil, which are connected to the cows, chickens, and pigs, which are connected to the gardens, which are all connected to our health.
