Your farmers
We are Michael and Sally, husband and wife, city dwellers who left the city and returned to the land.
In October 2008, our journey of building an organic farm started in Ontario. After spending eight years running a 24 week Spring/summer/fall CSA for 64 members, bulk vegetable boxes through the winter months along with pasture raising chickens, turkey and Berkshire pigs, caring for honey bees and goats we decided in the winter of 2016/2017 to sell our farm and move it 1800kms to the beautiful Annapolis Valley...
We have learnt from the soil up....
Neither of us studied agriculture at college or university and we did not have the opportunity to intern at other farms.
Our passion for growing started with needing to know more about where our food was coming from and how it was being raised and grown and this evolved into attending workshops, reading many books and asking a few questions and starting a small home garden that turned into a bigger garden that finally lead us many years later to farming full time and feeding a community...
Strattons Farm is a certified organic vegetable farm we believe in caring for the soil to feed the crop, naturing the land we have become caretakers of, working with nature rather than against it and building a farm and landscape that is sustainable for future generations....
