Windhorse Farm

Located in Glenora, part of the beautiful Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, Windhorse Farm is known for its dedication to growing fine forage crops while regenerating soils and stewarding the health of the whole farm. The farm is a member of the Island Organic Producers Association (IOPA Farm #1902) and is certified to the IOPA Guidelines and the Canadian Organic Standards. Additionally, it holds SPCA Certification and meets the standards of the Verified Beef Production (VBP) program for on-farm food safety.

Managed intensive grazing (MiG) combined with high temperature composting and the use of fungal-rich compost teas are some of the intensive techniques employed to create the rich and delicious salad bar enjoyed by the beeves. The farm's practices are designed to improve soil health, mitigate climate change, restore biodiversity, and support a more productive and just food system.

Windhorse Farm shares its land, which borders the Trans-Canada Trail, with a wide variety of wildlife including songbirds, swallows, ravens, raptors, rabbits, snakes, bats, salamanders, frogs, toads, deer, and the occasional black bear. The farm harvests seasonally and sells beef by the cut or in small packs through their website. Buyers are welcome to visit the farm to pick up beef and meet the herd, or delivery can be arranged for south Vancouver Island shoppers.
