About Us
Ottawa Valley Farm to Fork is a mixed family farm, located in Scotch Bush, Ontario, 130 km West of Ottawa. Collectively, we bring to our farm a broad base of academic backgrounds and real-life expertise. Marshall has 30 years of professional consulting in landscape restoration and forest management. Kathleen has shared her passion for nutrition through consulting work across Canada, collaborating with First Nations and Inuit on healthy eating, food security, and maternal and child health programs.
Together, with our combined expertise, we are dedicated to revitalizing our land, cultivating the future, and embracing regenerative agriculture. Our farm practices go beyond traditional farming methods to prioritize sustainability, environmental stewardship, and the production of healthy, nutritious food. By implementing regenerative agriculture techniques, we aim to restore the health and vitality of our soils, promote biodiversity, and contribute to the overall well-being of our local ecosystem.
Through our commitment to sustainable farming practices, we strive to minimize our environmental footprint while maximizing the positive impact on the local economy. By prioritizing regenerative agriculture, we not only ensure the production of high-quality, nutrient-rich food but also contribute to the long-term resilience of our land and community.
Join us on our journey as we revitalize our land, cultivate the future, and embrace regenerative agriculture. Together, we can create a sustainable, healthy, and thriving food system for generations to come.
We are Agroecology in Action!
What We Do
At Ottawa Valley Farm to Fork, we take pride in being one of the select farms that craft gourmet foods directly from the bounties of our land. With careful attention to detail, we transform our grass-fed beef into delectable sausage rolls and burgers, and our organic potatoes into mouthwatering pierogi. This allows us to generate exceptional value from a small area of land, showcasing the true potential of our farm.
Our dedication extends to the animals we raise. We lovingly care for Scottish Highlands Cattle, Dairy Goats, and Free-Range Chickens, ensuring their well-being and providing them with a nurturing environment. By prioritizing the welfare of our livestock, we can guarantee the superior quality and taste of our products.
In addition to our animal husbandry, we cultivate organic, heritage varieties of vegetables and fruits. By embracing sustainable farming practices and honoring the traditions of our crops, we deliver exceptional flavors and nourishment to our customers. Our commitment to organic farming not only promotes healthier eating habits but also safeguards the environment from harmful chemicals.
At Ottawa Valley Farm to Fork, community is at the heart of what we do. We actively contribute to the growth and vitality of our local community by hiring and training individuals from our area. By providing employment opportunities, we foster a sense of belonging and contribute to the economic development of our region.
Join us in savoring the taste of our gourmet creations, made with love and care from the ingredients grown on our farm. By supporting Ottawa Valley Farm to Fork, you become part of a community that values sustainable practices, exquisite flavors, and the well-being of both people and the land.
