Connaught Acres Farm provides customers with a wide range of organic vegetables, fruits, culinary herbs, free range hens, port, beef, meat birds, lamb and wild BC Salmon.

Located in the Ottawa Valley just outside of Chesterville, we offer both a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program and a box program which delivers fresh produce directly from the farm to the Ottawa area.

Making it all happen.

ALL of our seeds are certified organic, or open-pollinated, non-GMO, and non-treated. During the growing season there are three areas of concern.

• Pest Management
  A variety of methods are used to management pest. Biological sprays (a mixture of Garlic and Hot Pepper) is used. Floating row covers or remay cloth is employed to cover the crop if necessary. Crops are continually monitored for bugs. Sticky traps may also be used.

• Water Management
  We use mulches to reserve water and keep the plants moist. Rain barrels catch rain water which is then used to water the crops. Soakers hoses connect to a well water system are also used.

• Plant Growth
  Ensure good growth is a process of employing the correct fertilizers and proper maintenance. For this reason weeds are reduced by pulling and tilling. Foliar sprays which are a mixture of fix emulsions and manure teas are used as fertilizers along with a side dressing of compost.
