Kitley Beef Farm

About this farm

Kitley Beef Farm is located on 100 acres about one hour southwest of Ottawa near the town of Smiths Falls. We have about 50 Rhode Island Red laying hens which we bought as day old chicks. The eggs are available for pickup at the farm gate. Call ahead for availability and price if making a special trip. They have been fed certified organic feed since birth. From spring to fall they are outside following our beef cattle around the pastures in the "Joel Salatin" method. Our pastures are free from any herbicides, fungicides or pesticides. We use no drugs, vaccines or hormones. We use no fertilizers. The cattle fertilize as they move through the pastures. We don’t even have an ATV or a tractor (yet). All inspections are done on foot. We don’t seed pastures with purchased seed. There are possibly 100 different plants growing and reseeding naturally (even milkweed for the Monarchs), the ultimate salad bar. We divide the pasture into paddocks with moveable fences. Twice a day the cattle move to a new paddock so that they always have fresh grass to eat. Every couple days we move the hens to keep up to the cattle.
