First Nature Farms: Our Farm

First Nature Farms (or "the Ranch") as it has been known as since around 1918, is located in the Goodfare area of the Peace River Country in Alberta Canada, just four miles east of the British Columbia border.

Certified since 1990, the operation produces bison, beef, pork, chickens, eggs, Merriam's wild turkeys and domestic turkeys.

First Nature Farms is operated as an ecological reserve. It is home to many species including Trumpeter swans, mountain bluebirds, wolves and grizzly bears. The farm goal is to protect and enhance the biodiversity of the land.

Our farm lies alongside the vast wilderness of British Columbia. To the west of our farm the forest changes from poplar to spruce and pine.

The rolling land continues for around 50 miles to the Rocky Mountains. To the east the aspen forest is dotted with small fields of organic farms. Sprinkled throughout are numerous beaverponds, home to many northern species including the rare Trumpeter swan.
