Kathleen and Marshall started this gourmet food business after many years of consulting in the fields of nutrition (Kathleen, M.Sc. Nutrition, McGill 1997) and environment (Marshall, M. Sc. Forestry & Environmental Studies, U of T, 1994). From our professional work, we could see the way we eat in this modern age is focused more on convenience than on nutrition. At the same time, industrial style food production systems were having significant negative impacts on the environment, leading to polluted water, degraded habitat and even put human health at greater risk. We wanted to do our part to find a better way to feed Canadians and farm. In the year 2000 we bought a 50 acre farm in the Ottawa Valley. We combined our skills to grow produce and raise livestock in a caring and ecologically sustainable manner. In 2013 we purchased another 75 acres and in 2014 we opened our commercial kitchen to make gourmet foods based on the meat and produce we grew.
