Come out and enjoy some time in the country and visit our working farm.

Welcome to Thatcher Farms.  As our family continues to expand in 2009, so does our flock of Rideau Arcott sheep.  This domestic breed of sheep are bred and developed right here in Canada.  Our flock now consists of 220 breeding ewes, lambing three times a year.  Throughout the winter months we have been altering the old “hog” barn into a more conducive sheep barn, adding new waterers, and feeders to allow for a better feeding system for the flock. 

Now entering its second year of business, Thatcher Farm’s Country Store is Open Year Round, offering a variety of Hormone and Additive Free Meats, Cheeses, and Omega 3 Eggs.  Come out for a drive and browse the shop and see what a working farm is all about.

Now available in the Country Store…a variety of Homemade Meat Pies, Beef Pot Pie, Irish Lamb Pie, Shepard’s Pie, Tourtiere.  All of our pies are homemade using our farm fresh meats.  Easy and quick to bake!  Along with your meat pie, enjoy a variety of Sheep Cheeses and Goat Cheeses… a must have for fresh, garden salads and appetizers!!!

We also offer a selection of sweet, local Syrup Products and local honey.
