Getaway Farm: Located on North Mountain with scenic views of the Bay of Fundy Getaway Farm is practicing agriculture in a truly new and exciting way. Getaway raises beef on a grass-fed diet - the cattle are on pasture in the summer and have a healthy mix of hay and silage through the winter. Grass fed beef tends to grow more slowly than grain fed beef, and as a result there are much higher levels of heart healthy Omega 3 fats, and a much better flavour in the meat.
“At Getaway Farms, we believe that the best possible food, raised in the best possible way, is best provided by family farms. Over the years, we have watched as industrial agricultural practices have wreaked havoc on the once noble trade of farming. Constant food recalls, massive ecological damage, rampant use of chemicals and drugs, and irresponsible use of resources have become the hallmark of modern agriculture. At Getaway, we aim to do things differently.”
Getaway Farm beef and other meats and produce can be found at Osprey’s Roost Markets on Oxford Street and on Kaye Street in the Hydrostone. The stores are open six days a week.
