Hello, from Doug and Jennifer Mitchell. We are a small farm in Ariss, just north of Guelph and south of Elora, Ontario.
We raise beef cattle and layers year round, and turkeys, pigs, and meat chickens (and ducks) seasonally. We also make maple syrup in the spring. Our animals are pastured, and fed well with lots of freedom and beautiful environment. We provide them with a balanced ration of brewers grains from a couple of local breweries, distillers grains from a local distillery, and waste vegetables and bakery byproduct from local businesses, with necessary minerals added. Like all Canadian beef, they are not given any hormones or antibiotics (unless their health is ever at risk).
We are proudly all Canadian, and super local. The animals, their feed source, processing, and our customers are all within 40 km of the farm. We offer great value to people that care about the source of their food, at better than market pricing. Note: if pricing is the most important consideration, you may find that the best prices may be found at other sources, like Walmart or Costco.
We participate in agriculture improvement activities, such as the Wellington County Experimental Acres program, and the Wellington County Green Legacy tree sapling planting program.

Our beef is nicely marbled, and by raising Holstein steer calves, it's not too fatty while being extra fine grained:
We deliver to the north half of Guelph every weekend, and to other locations as needed. Farm tours are often available.
Here's a wonderful steak I made recently, and our Christmas beef tourtiere:
