Limestone Stables

In addition to Limestone Stables we operate Earthrise Organic Farm. We produce Certified organic milk for Organic Meadow a farmer owned co-operative (www.organicmeadow.com). We milk 35 Holsteins and Jerseys. Our milk, cheese, butter, sour cream,and yoghurt etc can be purchased at most natural food stores and super markets. Our cows, under the Natio... nal organic standards, are turned out everyday and are fed organic grass, hay and grains. We do not feed Soy nor use antibiotics or spray chemicals on our fields. We are members of the National Farmers Union (http://www.nfu.ca/) and hosted the 2005 Feast of Fields(pictured right), an NFU event. We also belong to the Ecological Farmers Assoc of Ontario (http://www.efao.ca/). Both organizations work for many important issues such as preserving the family farm, preserving farmland, seed saving, re-creating sustainable local food systems, and education for ecological farming practices to name a few. We also produce and sell: local organic beef organic eggs organic turkey - order now for this fall! organic milk For two years now we have been home to 25 bee hives for Toba Apiary to increase pollination in our crops.
