Hug A Farmer


The farm I decided to blog about is an organic meat farm in Etobicoke called Beretta Farms. Beretta Farms started as a small, family run organic food company that would supply grocery stores and other markets. The Beretta family all have organic food background and also cook & cater. The reasoning behind their choice to grow organic is no other than just the fact that their main goal is food that is both healthy and delicious.

 Their story on their website says that they want to be able to provide organic meat, free-range chickens, anti-biotic free pork and be able to teach people to live a healthier lifestyle. They offer cooking classes and even have a  Beretta University where they teach about farm life, organic foods etc. Their philosophy is that its best to understand the food so people can live a healthier lifestyle, and protect the environment and farmlands. 

From learning about Beretta farms, I learned easy ways to eat healthier and how organic farming better effects the environment. Because the farmer wasn't at the market at the time, I wasn't able to get a picture with a farmer. I have attached the Beretta Farms website and an informational video with Andy Fantuz. I hope you've learned as much as I have.
