WELCOME!
Our family believes food can make a difference in our life and in the lives of those around us. On the D&H Newman farm, near Kincardine Ontario, we grow much of our family's food. We concentrate on breeding and raising the 'all Canadian' Chantecler Chicken as well as dozens of varieties of Heritage Garlic! Our Virtual Farmers Market helps you connect with food grown by our neighbours here in Bruce County. Making changes to our food system happens one small step at a time. Let's walk together to build a healthier food system and a stronger community!
Farm News! The Chantecler Chicken
We are proud to announce that we are expanding our breeding program of the Standard White Chantecler Chicken! Working with the experts at Cirrus Hill Farm we will be helping to preserve this threatened breed. As the only chicken bred for our Canadian climate, this gentle dual purpose bird is ideal for the sustainable small family farm. We will have chicks, started birds and breeder available for pick up on the farm and fertile hatching eggs for shipping anywhere in Canada.
We also have a number of Beltville Small White Turkeys available as chicks this year.
Check out our Chantecler page for more information.
