Our farm sells to a sector of the population in the GTA and South Western Ontario who value quality food and are prepared to pay for that quality. The people who I’m referring to are always on the lookout for fresh fruit & vegetables, baked goods or meat products that have been carefully prepared and/or raised with care. Once you have tasted quality food, it’s easy to understand why products purchased direct from your local farm are worth the premium and worth the time it takes to seek them out.
At Black Walnut Lane Farm (BWL), we raise and sell vacuum packed lamb, beef, wild boar and bison – all available for our customers at our farm outlet on Saturdays. We also sell to restaurants who value quality and wish to tell their patrons the origins of their menu selections. The resurgence of small local Farmer’s Markets in recent years have been a help visa-vis the sustainability of our operation; and beginning in mid-January 2011, our new stall opens in the Hamilton Farmer’s Market with all our product, plus new ready-to-eat prepared foods! Our farm outlet will be open on Saturday mornings (9am-1pm) this fall and the coming winter of 2011.
Should you decide to visit us, you’ll be able to tour the farm itself and see how the animals are cared for. If you like, you can help us feed the sheep and you can check out and take pictures of our llamas. You might be lucky enough to see some live births too. Be sure to tell your friends and family to come out and experience our farm!
As we move forward, I hope to share some of our farm stories and experiences from Black Walnut Lane Farm – as well as introducing you to some of our partners and friends who make this small enterprise possible. We value our customers and all our partners associated with BWL . Be sure to send me any farm related questions you might have and I’ll do my best to answer them.
Did you know that our rams wear chalk harnesses during breeding season? (Ask me why!)
