WELCOME TO SHEEP RIVER FARM
Located in picturesque Foothills County, Alberta, we are a small family-owned farm committed to sustainable agricultural practices. From July to October, we offer a wide variety of freshly grown, luscious vegetables and stunning flowers.
Knowing where our food comes from is the first step to feeling better about what we eat.
Buying local is one way to guarantee fresher foods, and itβs also easier to find out how these items were prepared, raised or grown. Being aware of what we put in our shopping carts and having the option to make good choices is the best path to a healthier lifestyleβ¦ another wonderful option would be to grow a few veggies yourself! Are you ready to embark on a new and exciting journey towards good health?

Youβll love our recipe of the week!
If youβre looking for a creamy broccoli soup recipe that doesnβt require butter and flour, then youβve come to the right place. This recipe is gluten-free, very satisfying and so flavorful! The secret to itβs velvety texture lies in the wonderful nutrient-dense potato.
Sunlight vs Grow Lights
Sunlight vs Grow Lights
Iβve done a lot of home gardening over the years and always did well without grow lights. Our home had plenty of southwest facing windows and because we live in sunny Alberta, I was able to successfully start many seedlings indoors.
However, the best method for strong, sturdy plants is to use grow lights, especially if you live in a cloudy area or if your home does not provide enough sunlight (at least 6 hours per day). So, to be on the safe side, investing in grow lights will ensure your seedlings are off to a great start!
Living in Harmony With Nature is Our Greatest Goal!
In 2021, my family and I moved to an acreage close to our town, and began our seasonal farm-to-table dream to offer to our community fresh produce that is grown organically. Since, we have expanded our gardens and have added pumpkins and flowers that are also grown without the use of harmful chemicals.
