LOCAL FARMS for pesticide and hormone free meat, eggs, poultry
Due to a dietary restriction, and being unable to eat store bought factory meat, because of the added hormones, chemicals an antibiotics, which contributed to frequent migraines for me, I have had the pleasure of meeting and interacting with some amazing people and family-run local farms over the past months. Being smack-dab in the middle of Cariboo country, we in Quesnel are lucky to have quite a few local farms within our reach. Not only is this meat, eggs and dairy well above par in terms of quality of meat, most of these farmers deliver.
You can get beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, pork, eggs and honey from the farms in this area. I hear some also have milk. I personally go to and highly recommend Blackwater beef, Cougar Meadows, Hunny Do Ranch and Whispering Winds Ranch.
We have such good farms around here. I’ve been using them for almost a year rather than grocery stores

We currently have 27 hens and 2 roosters. After a bit we graduated to trying meat birds. We then purchased 2 weaner pigs, a castrated male and a female, with the intent that they would both be for meat. The female, Crazy Pig stayed and is now our oldest breeding sow. We bought her a friend Digger, she is our other breeding sow. I could not justify having 2 pet pigs so after quite a search we found our boar, Oohtred.
We started raising our own meat animals because we were not happy eating grocery store meat as we did not know how the animals were treated or what they ate. We wanted nutritious, organic food from humanely raised animals.
Hunny-Do ranch is operated under organic principles; the animals are grass-fed, no pesticides or herbicides are used in the hay fields or pastures and no growth-inducing chemicals are used with the animals.
