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 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!

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.
