We are determined to develop a fertile, healthy land base and excellent quality “real food”. We are looking for you – loyal, consistent, happy customers who are supportive of your ethical farmer who puts wholesome, healthy, tasty meat on your plate and in your mouth.
Livestock grown for meat include chicken, turkey, pork, beef and laying hens for their eggs are seasonally raised in a chemical-free, pasture-based environment and moved to fresh forage as needed. In many cases, livestock is moved to fresh grass every day.
Our purpose is to make our little corner of the world as healthy and productive as it can be using holistic management principles.

At Birch Island Farm, we produce food that we ourselves are confident and comfortable eating. To ensure this level of quality, we raise our animals outdoors on fresh pasture, with plenty of sunshine, clean air, and daily fresh greens.
Our animals are raised ethically and without the use of antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, chemical fertilizers, or hormones. The pigs and poultry receive a mixture of grains with the vast majority being certified-organic while the cattle are 100% grass-fed (no grain).
Utilizing a regular pasture rotation for all our animals ensures they have the best and cleanest pasture available, and it also improves the land through intense natural fertilization, with a rest period to follow. The process is nutritious for the animals and healing for the land. https://birchislandfarm.ca/about-our-farm

Earth Works Farm provides soy-free, pasture-raised chicken and turkey; soy-free, pasture and bush-raised pork; and grass-fed and finished beef.
Our beef is grass and forage fed and finished. Our winter feeding program includes hay, forage and barley sprouts (this is a by-product of the barley malting process; it is the sprout and rootlet of the seed. It does not affect the pH balance of an animal’s rumen so acidosis, caused by feeding grain, is not a concern).
Through our farming activities we aim to promote ecosystems that nourish biodiversity and healthy life. We are producing food by raising breeds and species that are selected and managed in ways appropriate for our climate and ecosystem.
Our products are sold direct to customer through orders you place with us and coordinated deliveries/pick-ups. We arrange semi-regular delivery to points in and between Calgary and Edmonton, as product is available and demand regular. We also run a meat account program that allows customers to make pre-payment installments for their wholesale meat orders.
