Blue Ridge Farms

Feeding their local community through regenerative ranching

Brett and Jillian Byers, along with their young family of four children, manage a 400 head cow-calf herd in Blue Ridge, Alberta. They raise beef for butcher year-round, as well as pastured poultry and pigs from spring to fall, as their products are sold through their Farm Store located on the ranch. As a young expanding family, they have been growing their dream of producing delicious, local, healthy food. Their farming roots stem back many generations and have created a mentality that respects the animals, the land, and the health-conscious consumer’s desired for home-raised meats. Blue Ridge Farms is based on the notion that dedication and attention to detail lead to a quality product. They are active members of their community and innovators of a growing business in the agri-food industry. Their family works together to regenerate the land with the goal that it will sustain many future generations to come.

Ferme Robec

Producing milk in an economically and ecological way

The principle of production at Ferme Robec is to produce milk in the most economical and ecological way possible. Self-sufficiency is the foundation of the concept that Yvan and Sebastien Robert utilize for feeding their 86-cow herd and growing crops on 1650 acres of farmland. Founded in 1920, Sebastien is the fifth generation of the Robert family to farm this land. Their goal is to produce the maximum amount of inputs on the farm to feed the herd, while maintaining a high level of productivity and allowing long-term development of the farm's land and resources. They have implemented an agro-environmental fertilization plan and utilize a variety of technologies with the goal to reduce the carbon footprint of the farm as much as possible.
