Feed Your Family with Confidence
At Amalgamation Acres, we raise beef, pork, chickens, and eggs humanely and naturally right here on our 200 acre home farm. We use historic, small herd farming to produce happy animals that roam freely and are grain and grass fed. We treat our animals extremely well and believe this quality, care, and traditional approach translates to the exceptional taste of our products.

Beef
Kind, Humane and Respectful Farming Practices
Our beef is primarily Angus, but may be crossed with complimenting breeds depending on the calves that are available to us. Calves are brought in from Western Canada every November as Western calves are hardy and known for their high-quality meat. They arrive with necessary vaccinations that prevent disease spread and which give them a healthy start in life and that help them to maintain their health.
Our cattle grow naturally on a balanced diet of grain and forage supplemented with salt and minerals and have access to both the pasture and the barn 24/7/365. We raise our cattle for approximately one year before being processed at a local certified abattoir.
Buy Direct From Our Farm
At Amalgamation Acres, we have a whole beef, halves, or quarters that are available for purchase. If you are looking for something different, please contact us and we will see if we can help.
Our prices are per pound and include butchering, cutting, and wrapping. Keep in mind the price per pound is paid on the hanging weight of the animal. Our steers HW (hanging weight) can be up to 850lbs. Hanging weight is the weight of the animal prior to butchering – this weight includes the bone of the animal – its is safe to multiply this weight by 0.65 to determine how much meat will actually be received from the animal once the butchering is complete.
Our beef is ready for pick-up every fall and delivery is available within our local area for a small fee, but the meat must be delivered as soon as we pick it up at the abattoir to remain frozen – these arrangements can be made at processing time.
How to Order
Because we are small herd farmers, we take orders a year in advance (every fall) when we order our cattle. A deposit based on quantity ordered is due at the time of order. We are currently taking beef orders for next fall.
You can order a whole beef, halves, or quarters – if you are looking for something different, please contact us and we will see if we can help.
Occassionally we will have an additional 1/2 or 1/4 of beef not yet claimed, so check in with us any time of year.
How to Pick Up
Beef sales are farm-gate sales only, which means you will pick up your order at the farm, or the meat processing facility if applicable. Our beef is ready for pick-up every fall and delivery is available within our local area for a small fee, but the meat must be delivered as soon as we pick it up from the abbatoir to remain frozen – these arrangements can be made at processing time. We do not ship these products and will only deliver when the quality of the product will not be compromised.
Our prices are per pound and include butchering, cutting, and wrapping. Keep in mind the price per pound is paid on the hanging weight of the animal.

Pork
Farm Direct Pork
Our piglets are sourced annually from local, like-minded farmers and can be a variety of breeds. Yorkshire, Landrace, Duroc, and Hampshire are popular in the area. These breeds are known for their fast growth, adaptability, and great tasting lean meat. Our pigs are raised outdoors during the summer months so they can root and play in the mud and keep cool, however, they do still have access to shelter 24/7 for shade and in the event of inclement weather. We feed our pigs a grain ration in addition to some fresh veggies and clean, fresh water.
How to Order
Our price per pound includes processing and we offer whole pigs and halves at this time. Orders are typically taken a year in advance, and a deposit based on quantity ordered is due at the time of order.
How to Pick up
Our pork is ready for pick-up every fall and delivery is available within our local area for a small fee, but the meat must be delivered as soon as we pick it up at the abattoir to remain frozen – these arrangements can be made at processing time.
We provide the processing facility with the names and contact numbers of our customers and the quantity of meat that they have spoken for so they know to expect a call from you.
We contact you to let you know your animal is ready for processing and to provide you with the facility name and phone number so you can call them directly to arrange your specific cutting instructions (a knowledgeable employee from the processing facility will walk you through this process with common cuts or availability of their services) – special cuts or services may result in additional fees.
The processor contacts us to let us know that the butchering and freezing is complete.
We will contact you to let you know your product is ready for pickup at the processing facility or what times we are able to deliver – at this time we also provide you with our invoice which shows the HW of their share of the animal and the total due less deposit. All amounts are due at this time and are payable to Amalgamation Acres.
Pricing

Chicken
Happy, Healthy Chickens
Our meat birds are the White Rock breed and are raised during the summer months. Our birds come from a local hatchery and arrive as day-old chicks which we brood in the barn. When they are big enough, chicks are moved to an outdoor shelter within our pasture so they can laze, graze, or move and peck as they please – they enjoy the sunshine and the chance to catch all the insects they can!
Our meat birds are fed a grain ration in addition to the natural outdoor diet on pasture and always have access to fresh, clean, water. Birds are raised to 5 – 9 lbs and processed by a local certified processing facility.
How to Order
Our price per pound includes processing and we only offer whole birds at this time.
Orders are taken in advance annually, and a deposit based on quantity ordered is due at the time of order.
How to Pick up
Our chicken is ready for pick-up in September and delivery is available within our local area for a small fee, but the meat must be delivered as soon as we pick it up at the processing facility to remain frozen – these arrangements can be made at processing time.
The processor contacts us when the butchering and freezing is complete.
We contact you, our customers, to let you know your product is ready for pickup at our farm or what times we are able to deliver – at this time we also provide you with our invoice which shows the total due less deposit. All amounts are due at this time and are payable to Amalgamation Acres.

Eggs
Farm Fresh Eggs
Our layer hens are Red Sex-Link birds which come from a local reputable hatchery. “Our girls” are fed a grass and grain ration. The layers live in newly constructed insulated hen houses that keep them cool in the summer and warm in the winter – they also have access to fenced outdoor areas daily. We move our hens indoors nightly to keep them safe from predators.
How to Order
We offer farm fresh brown eggs daily which currently are ungraded (unsized). All of our eggs are refrigerated immediately after daily washing to maintain safety and freshness. Contact us to place your order, or stop by the farm to pick some up.
We also offer 1-2 week aged eggs for the same price – these eggs are of no less value, but are preferred for hard boiling – the older the egg the easier the shell peels.
How to Pick up
Contact us to order eggs, or stop by the farm to pick some up. Delivery is available within the local area if we are out and about on other errands.
Pricing
Our 2022 pricing for eggs is $3.00/dozen or $7.00/per flat.
Sustainable Farming
Any excess eggs are delivered weekly to a local depot for Homestead Specialty Foods. These eggs are shipped to the Newmarket area for grading and to supply a larger population. This process eliminates waste, ensures that our farm supply of eggs remains fresh, and feeds more people!
Field Crops
Field Crops
Our crop production is for personal use within our farm operation and to market to local elevators, businesses and farmers. Our current crop rotation includes oats, barley, hay, wheat, soybeans, black beans and corn. Along with the direct field crops, straw and wood are sometimes available for purchase.
If you are interested in field crops please contact Brian directly at 519.440.6596 to see if we have options for you.

Happy Clients
“Being raised on a mixed farming operation I learned what quality meat tastes like. I loved cooking at an early age and have raised my family on fresh locally grown meat. Recently I have filled our freezer with beef and chickens from Amalgamation Acres! The chickens are mouth watering, so moist and tender, and the beef I have roasted had an amazing tasting gravy and was melt in your mouth!"
"I love that I have a source for these items that I can trust so close to home!”
“I had never purchased meat directly from a farmer before. Annette made the process easy and was very helpful. It seemed like a lot of money at the time, but after I got my meat home and looked at the cuts I received and did the math, I was amazed at the cost compared to buying at the grocery store. And there is no comparison to the taste and quality. If you have the freezer room, I would definitely recommend buying your meat by the quarter or the half."
"I am very pleased!"
