Secret Lands Farm

Our family takes great pride in owning and running a sheep dairy farm and production south of Owen Sound in Ontario.
By combining modern technology with old-world European family traditions, we produce a hormone-free range of delicious dairy products, artisanal cheeses, and meats.

Farm philosophy.
Secret Lands Farm believes in the spirit of the Land and the Animals. 
Fresh well water, fresh air, healthy soil. Healthy soil means no pesticides and herbicides, using sheep’s manure for fertilizer. 
Human Health starts from the Health of the Land. 
Milk philosophy.
The health of our animals is a foundation for the best milk quality. And we believe that sheep milk is the healthiest for human consumption.
Our pure East Friesian sheep flock is considered the best for producing the highest quality milk.
The animals are grass-fed, pasture-raised, and no silos in sheep’s diet. Free of antibiotics and hormones.

Cheese philosophy.
We are all about the natural way of making great cheese and are following David Asher’s expertise in Raw Milk Cheesemaking, using Kefir as a starter culture for all of our cheeses. We are the only farmers in Canada using this method.
We are using Lamb Rennet only from France because it is not genetically modified, and it is an essential factor in traditional cheesemaking production.
As small farmstead producers, we have complete control of everything, from farming to milking, from cheesemaking to packaging, which is done right on our farm.
