May we we pick up our order at the farm?
At present we do not have an on-farm store. If, however, it is more convenient for you to pick your order up at the farm, let us know at ordering time and we can arrange a Friday evening Farm Pick Up.
Is all the meat that you sell raised on your own farm?
No. In order to bring you a full range of organic meat and a reliable supply, and to protect certain species of livestock from predators around our farm, we have other organic farmers in Ontario raise some animals for us. While not all of Beretta Organic Farms’ meat is raised on our farm, the local organic farmers who raise animals for us and whom we help to support are required to meet the same stringent organic production standards as on our own farm, including humane animal rearing practices. In purchasing meat from Beretta Organic Farms, we hope that you will be proud that you are helping to support Ontario organic farmers such as ourselves. Thank you! Please see How We Rear Our Animals and What is Certified Organic? for more information, and call us should you have other questions about our production or product lines.
Where are your animals slaughtered?
All our meat is slaughtered at a provincially inspected abattoir. We do all our own meat processing, including aging, cutting and packaging.
