Producer
Dan and Maureen Sheedy growers of mixed vegetables since 1997. 90% of our product is direct marketed. Vendors at the Pembroke Farmers' Market from 1998 to 2025. What began as a hobby growing several varieties of potatoes has “blossomed” into a thriving business in accordance with customer requests.The homestead was built by Dan’s great grandfather and the original pine log cabin is still part of our farmhouse today. It was an undertaking of labour and love to restore the house and reclaim the soil.
While we are not organic we make every effort to limit chemical use wherever and whenever possible. Cover crops, crop rotation, mulching, contour tillage and seeding, mechanical weed control and water management all play a part in day to day operations. 90% of our production is direct marketed through farm gate sales, Ottawa Valley Food Co-op and other venues throughout the season. Inputs are purchased, if available, from local (Renfrew County) suppliers who employ local people and buy from local producers.
