Producer

I bought my 80-acre farm at Macgregor MB in 2017 and started converting it to an organic operation immediately. I grew up on an organic farm a couple of miles from my own farm where our family worked together raising organic grains, edible beans and cattle using crop rotations and plow downs. Now on my own farm, I find a deeper meaning of the old saying take care of your land and your land will take care of you!" And enjoy working together with nature to produce good food! Some of the crops we produce are oats, pinto beans, wheat, rye, potatoes, strawberries, carrots, onions, some other garden produce, and Manitoba maple syrup. We try to sell directly to consumers as much as possible and aim to make good food more trustworthy and affordable to people all over Manitoba!"

Certified Organic. At Benco Foods we continue using plow down crops (fall rye, clover, alfalfa etc.), spreading manure, and rotating crops to keep the soil healthy and fertile, and to produce high-quality products for our customers!
