A new year marks a milestone and so at this time we want to once again express our appreciation for your support throughout this past year. We are keenly aware that without your support we would not be able to continue to farm in the way that we do.
This past year we were pleased to be able to grow the majority of our feed for our poultry, purchasing local, organic legumes and grains to fulfill our requirements, and grind our own feed on the farm. We are excited about a few new things we are trying on the farm this year. We have a couple of sows and are hoping to raise pastured pigs, rotationally grazing them behind our cows this summer. We also hope to day range some turkeys on pasture with the cattle and see if that will be a good symbiotic relationship. We tried a few heritage breeds of poultry this past year, including some Delaware chickens and Bronze turkeys. We hope to continue trialing some other heritage breeds, looking at the possibility of hatching some of our own chicks on the farm. We are also planning on adding a vegetable CSA this season. More information regarding that will follow.
We continue to be encouraged by the increasing number of people seeking to eat and live in a healthier and more sustainable way by choosing to eat local, organic food, purchased direct from the farmer.
Wishing all of you health and joy in 2012.
David, Sandra, Marta, Jacob & Daniel

The David Bunnett Family own and operate a 125 acre organic farm in Havelock, NB. David manages his organic, closed beef herd, raising the cattle completely on grass , creating a lean meat high in omega 3's and full of great flavour.
David and the children enjoy custom raising pasture fed chicken and turkeys over the summer.
To complement our healthy meat we also offer a large variety of organic products from Speerville Flour Mill, all products our family also enjoys using. David grows a small amount of organic grain each year which is sold to Speerville Mill for milling.
Sandra adds her skills in organization and book keeping to make the effort a complete family affair.
We appreciate your support and look forward to providing you and your family with quality. healthy food. We are always open to your comments and appreciate knowing what you think of our products.
