Here is something that is very important to us and has greatly affected our business in the last year. I encourage everyone to educate themselves on what has happened to your rights with regards to Natural Health Prducts being available in Canada and how thanks to Big Pharma and ill informed beauracrats we are unfairly being targeted and put in the same category as pharmaceutical drugs,
Essential nutrients and natural remedies should not be treated as dangerous chemical drugs

💚 Natural health products are natural remedies and essential nutrients we need to be healthy.

💚 Natural health products should not be classed as drugs. Before 2004 they were not classed as drugs. It is only with the ill-advised Natural Health Product Regulations that for the first time it became illegal for Canadian companies to sell vital nutrients without Health Canada permission.

💚 Natural health products are classed by law as food in the U.S. They are deemed by law to be safe in the U.S. There is no requirement for government pre-approval in the form of a licence in the U.S. This is because Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, 1994.

We should go back to being foods like we were before 2004, and like the same products are in the U.S.

Let’s make protecting access to natural health products a key issue. Ask your mp to Speak up for Natural Health and vote in favour of Bill-C224.

We are so grateful for our local farmer friends. Check out Wysmykal Farm online order page to see all the wonderful products they have and we hope to see you for Thursday pick up here! We have lots of beef available still too.

Good morning! The sun is shining, and it is feeling chilly out there. It looks like some cold (below 0C) weather is on its way this week. Last week on the farm was busy! We harvested the napa cabbages, the rutabagas, and the parsnips. Everything is on the smaller side this year, but at least we did get something. We also planted our garlic. We covered two beds with a generous compost layer, two beds with a more moderate compost layer, and three beds of those beds with landscape fabric. Both the compost mulch and the landscape fabric should help to retain moisture and decrease w**d pressure. We are interested to see which treatment works the best. Below is a photo of the garlic laid out on top of the bed with compost mulch, ready to go in. Also, beginning this week, we are partnering with Ursa Farm to offer a weekly pick up in Oxford, NS, on Thursday mornings. Their farm products will also be available for pick up:

We are very excited to announce that Fall Registration is now OPEN for Ursa Farm School!

We have made some exciting changes to the program so we can better adapt to the abilities of various ages and include a half day option for younger children.

TWO AGE GROUPS:

Ages 4-6 Mondays 9-3 OR 9-12 (half day option)

Ages 7-13 Thursdays 9-3

The first session begins Monday September 8th / Thursday September 11 and runs for 5 weeks.

Each five week session costs $250 for full days and $125 for half days (option for ages 4-6).

This is a Waldorf-inspired program which means we aim to create a rhythm to the day that has a quality of breathing in and out. A balanced mixture of activities where there are periods of concentration (quiet, focused, or teacher-led activities) with periods of expansion (active, child-led play and movement). It's like the natural inhale and exhale of breathing which brings about harmony.

We combine this with the needs of the natural world around, and within, us. What the farm may need at any given moment can change, as well as, the needs of the group and leaders. In this way we also model a deeper connection to ourselves, each other and nature. This fosters a flexible yet also structured approach to learning that encompasses the whole being and the surrounding environment.

If you are interested in hearing more about what we do day-to-day, or wish to register your child, please reach out to us via email at Ursa.Farmstead@gmail.com
