Our farm is our home!
Our story began in Hamilton. My husband and I decided that we wanted to do something really interesting, something that would be useful. We had no experience in farming, as we could not even think that we would ever do this. Our first farm was built in the Caistor Center. We worked hard. Finally, we are one step closer to our goal.
One of the symbols of our farm is a large and proud bird - the ostrich. When people come to the farm, they first go to the ostriches because these are unusual birds that can boast of their beauty and good health. The more we learn about ostriches, the more we fall in love with them. They are elegant, amazing, beautiful and very quiet birds.
Do you know what ostriches are famous for? Not only because they are some of the largest non-fly birds in the whole world. Ostriches boast the strongest immunity and a huge amount of antibodies, which are found in huge quantities in ostrich eggs. Numerous studies have shown that ostrich antibodies are able to neutralize the virus and subsequent infection of the body. Ostrich antibodies are also widely used in the production of cosmetics. They help to create a unique formula that has a beneficial effect on our health.
Friends of the Farm
Our friends have helped us from day one on our farm, and are often onsite with us. They've been with us through thick and thin! Without our friends, we wouldn't have the wonderful farm community we have today.
We want to say a huge thank you to them as their help has contributed to our success.
