Upper Canada Heritage Meat

Barbara Schaefer

Focusing on the Large Black Pig Barbara believes that animals destined for our table should live a good life. She raises the pigs in large rotating paddocks where they get plenty of play and exercise – fully expressing their natural instincts for rooting. She does not ring their noses, dock their tails or clip their teeth at birth. The pigs are free of hormones, steroids, antibiotics, growth stimulants or chemicals of any kind.

Expanding into other rare heritage breeds, Barbara also offers grass-fed beef from the celebrated Lincoln Red, a hardy breed originally from northern England. Traditional breed chickens and ducks are a new addition to the farm.
