A Single Woman with a Singular Vision:
Working to keep my family’s land and produce food the old-fashioned way!
​
Welcome, we are happy that you are here! Thank you for letting us be apart of your Alberta Food System!
​
Meadow Creek Farms is not a hobby for me. There are no government grants or off-farm income to subsidize what I do. For 14 years, I have been learning and growing (literally and figuratively) and have beautiful, fertile soil built up with zero synthetic fertilizer.
​
My broiler birds, laying hens and hogs are not given soy-based feed to gain weight unnaturally fast. My birds are fed , wheat, peas, barley and oats and are truly raised outside, They are not barn birds. I process my broiler birds July-Sept and then sell through the year. My meat needs to be cooked slow due to the exercise my birds receive. My birds are on the move. You will notice a difference in the quality and taste. My meat does not shrink. I do not sell live birds.
​
My laying hens are outside whenever possible and the in spacious indoor environments which they can be natural and free.
​
My hogs are outside year round. Straw bale house in winter, the healthiest way to raise a hog!
​
My fields are hand-planting and hand-weeding comes from fairly-paid local labourers, not built-in communal workers. I don't push buttons in a big barn to feed and water, I pack pails, I am not perfect, but I try every day to treat animals and humans with an abundance of respect.

What you eat matters. Here's how.
Food impacts more than your health. It impacts the environment, animals and people. What you eat, where it comes from, and how it was produced contributes to your FoodPrint — think of it like a carbon footprint, but for food.
