Know your local farmer
So many people have no idea where their food comes from or our how it was grown. They’ve lost touch with
the story and people behind their food. And that’s a problem.

We are Ben and Kate Constable and we have been living at Fresh Ayr Farm since 2016 with our dogs Peigi and Nessa.
We are driven by two guiding principles in our farming. First, all animals on our farm must be raised compassionately and allowed to lead safe and respected lives. We feel this is very important for our livestock and that it ultimately makes a difference to the food we eat. Second, all crops must be grown in accordance with organic principles. We believe this helps to protect our health as farmers, improves the local environment, and provides you with the most nutritious food.
To provide delicious, nutritious, compassionate, and sustainable food to our local foodshed. We are dedicated to being an equitable employer of local people and giving back to our community.
We are a small farm run by Ben and Kate Constable just outside of Ayr, Ontario. We strive to raise vegetables and animals as naturally, respectfully and compassionately as possible while bringing amazing flavour to your table.
Fresh Ayr Farm was established in 2016 with just a few chickens, our rescue dog Nessa, and a dream to grow food for our foodshed. Since then, we have expanded to many more chickens, another dog named Peigi, a flock of sheep and a lot more vegetables! As we have grown, we have been fortunate to employ some great local help on the farm to work along side us.
Around the farm you will see our sheep and chickens rotating through the pastures creating vital nutrients for our crops. We utilize cover crops to preserve topsoil and return nutrients while the ground is resting between vegetable harvests. We also use a caterpillar tunnel and row covers to extend the growing season and keep pesky bugs off!
