Why Organic?
My “aha” moment came when my son asked me to watch a movie with him one night. Surprisingly he had chosen a documentary on food, farming and eco-sustainability. It literally changed the way I saw the world and how we fit into it. From that moment on I realized that we had to start living in reverse if we wanted to have a hope of healthy living for future generations.
Organic, eco-friendly and sustainable are the most harmonious and harmless methods to successfully nurture our land and our livestock.
Using traditional methods, eco-friendly and natural practices we are homesteading and the caretakers of this lovely heritage working farm.
With much gratitude to the three former owners of this land and property who cared as much as we do.
Our Story
Living in reverse, we moved to a rural farm in beautiful Mississippi Mills Ontario. Blue Hen Farm came with a rich history and we were in love the moment we stepped into the warm kitchen on a cold winter day. Feeling like this old farm had been just waiting to be brought back to life we dove in.
Only the fourth owner in the home’s history since 1918, we are so proud to have an opportunity to revive it. Join our ups and our downs but mostly celebrate with us the joy of beautiful Blue Hen Farm.
There’s lots happening on the farm this year with many great things to learn and discover. If you’re interested in a farm stay in Ontario, come for a visit.
We believe in the collective power of people and that together we CAN make change.
