I am a born and raised farm kid and have been passionate about agriculture my entire life. I first began raising livestock when I was 10 years old. I am proud to provide the best care to all of my livestock, whether it is cattle, chickens, turkeys, or any other animal that strikes my fancy!

​

After completing my Diploma in Agriculture at Ridgetown Campus in 2019, I went on an “agventure” across Canada. I toured dozens of farms and worked several jobs, including herding cattle in the Quebec hills, driving a combine for harvest in Saskatchewan, and helping at an abattoir in British Columbia. My 5-month journey reinforced my dream of building a farm selling ecological meats directly from the farm. When I returned home, I got right to work growing my business! I operate Dawn Farm alongside my family's farm and am the seventh generation to farm in the Elgin County area.

​

What I Believe In:

• Building a personal connection with every one of my customers! I want you to know the face of the farmer behind your food.

• Practicing ecological, regenerative agriculture. Like all farmers, I am a steward of the land. I constantly strive to improve my practices to sequester more carbon, reduce emissions, and build soil health.

• Taste - delicious, nutritious foods fresh from the farm

• Growing local food. There is nothing better than eating food that was grown in your community by someone you know.

• Educating - I am happy to answer any questions you have about my operation, or farming in general. I certainly don’t know everything about agriculture, but I am continuously learning and well-connected in the industry so I will help you as best I can.

• Smiling! I love to farm and want to share that love with you.

 

Thanks for joining me! I look forward to providing you with delicious, local, ecological meats. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions or comments. I would love to hear from you!
