Poplar Bluff Farm
Strathmore, AB
Rosemary started the farm in 1985. Back then, growing organic was something that only dope smoking hippies did and female farmers were weirder still. Having lived outside Canada for more than a decade impressed upon her that something was wrong with the way food was grown in Canada because food tasted so much better in other poorer countries. Determined to test her theories, she began growing and raising animals. In the early 2000s a neighbor, Cam Beard loved what was growing, converted his land to organic and the partnership of Poplar Bluff was born. Both Cam and Rosemary are convinced that soil health = flavor = nutrition.
