About Waykeeper Farm & Nerdery
Food that's good for the long term
We offer a range of seasonal produce, sheep milk cheeses, and other farm fresh products that we make and grow ourselves.
You’ll taste the difference in our bright yellow yoked eggs, our mozzarella’s creaminess, and our garlic’s aliveness.
Because of the way we choose to farm, regeneratively, the food we grow is more nutritious and better for the planet, too.
You can order online and we’ll prepare your items so you can pick them up at our farm, here in Port Colborne, Ontario. Click below to get started.
Who we are
We’re a couple of software nerds who decided that farming was a good way to spend a life off the computer. We’re raising our kids alongside our chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep.
Muddy boots, dirty hands, and all.
Along the way, we got Permaculture Design Certified, and designed a plan for this beautiful farm. Each day we’re taking small steps toward making it all happen.
Why we choose to farm
We’re partnering with nature and all life forms to create an abundant place where everyone can thrive. Working on the farm is a joyful part of each day, and brings a sense of ease and flow while leaving a legacy of abundance for generations.
We are undertaking a process of regenerating the land, closing the loop, and decoupling from the extraction economy.
Waykeeper Farm and Nerdery is a place where people can come to learn, get their hands dirty, and make shifts in their own habits after they leave.
What's with the name?
What does Waykeeper Farm & Nerdery mean to us?
The word “do” is an Eastern concept that can mean way, method, or art. Think of martial arts like Tae Kwon Do, Judo, and Kendo.
Since we’re trying to keep the traditional farming way going strong, we consider ourselves “Waykeepers”.
Because how we do things is just as important as what we’re trying to accomplish. There is an art to farming, for sure.
We’re also very techy nerds and brought our sillier side out to play. Farms sometimes have a nursery or a creamery, and we just happen to be raising nerds along with plants and dairy animals.
