Meeting Place Organic Farm
Meeting Place Organic Farm is a 100-acre draft-powered family farm in picturesque Huron County. It has been in operation since 1973. Started by Tony and Fran McQuail and currently stewarded by Katrina McQuail. We raise certified organic pastured pigs; certified Organic, 100% grass fed cattle; and organically raised meat chickens. As well, we produce organic chicken and quail eggs, organic apples and apply butter, vegetable, herb, and heritage tomato seedlings. We cooperate with several other local farms to bring you local organic lamb, goat, duck, maple syrup and honey.
Starting in 2023 we are starting to grow our own organic flowers and have launched a flower bouquet program in partnership with Donnybrook Flower Farm. As well as our annual May Open House, we are starting to offer on farm events, and field to fork dinners, throughout the year. Look for announcements of those on our website and social media.
We farm organically with Suffolk Punch horses and have a mixed livestock operation designed to nourish the soil and produce food in an ecologically sustainable manner. We rotationally graze our cattle and feed our own hay in the winter. Our pigs live on pasture and get fresh garden weeds. We are founding members of the Ecological Farmer’s Association of Ontario. Some of our farm products have been certified organic for 30 years. Our organic certifier is Ecocert Canada.
We are very community minded and are always looking to collaborate with local businesses and organizations, so if you’ve got an idea about something we could partner on, please reach out!
