What’s your farming background?

Courtnee is a first-generation farmer, having grown up in rural Alberta. While she doesn’t have an agriculture background, her passion for farming comes from her love of cooking nourishing food for her family and her desire to know exactly where her food comes from. Corey grew up on his parents' Cow/Calf Ranch in Lac La Biche, where he gained solid experience in animal husbandry and the production side of a farm. While neither of us have a formal background in regenerative agriculture, we’re both deeply committed to learning and continually advancing our practices to ensure we are stewarding Gods creation while producing happy nutrient dense animals.

Where is your farm located?

We are located 1hr west of Edmonton near Evansburg, Alberta.

Are you certified organic? Do you give antibiotics or other medications?

No, we are not certified organic—but we value transparency over certifications.

We do everything we can to ensure our farming practices align with organic and regenerative principles. Our animals are raised on pasture and fed high-quality, glyphosate-free feed with no herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, or synthetic chemicals.

• Our chickens are not given any vaccinations, antibiotics, or synthetic growth hormones.

• Our pigs are pasture-raised and rotated frequently to fresh ground. They are not given antibiotics or hormones, and instead are supported with natural health boosters like apple cider vinegar in their water.

• Our laying hens are fed the same high-quality feed as the rest of our animals, and the results are clear in the vibrant, nutrient-rich eggs they produce.

Getting certified organic takes a lot of time and money—and doesn’t necessarily guarantee a better product. Instead, we choose to invest that energy into raising our animals with integrity and sharing every part of that process with you. Our mission is to raise food we’re proud to feed our family—and yours.

Do you give your animals hormones?

We do not. In Canada, no synthetic hormones are permitted by law to be given to chickens or hogs—Leach Family Farms’ meat included.

However, chicken and pork sold in grocery stores can be imported from other countries, in which case added hormones may have been used.

In Canada, hormones are permitted in beef cows; however we choose to raise hormone-free beef.

It’s important to note that all animals have natural hormones but Leach Family Farms chicken and beef are all free of added hormones. We never use growth hormones

What makes your meat different from grocery store options?

We raise our animals the way nature intended—on pasture, with space to move, fresh air, sunshine, and clean, natural feed. Grocery store meat often comes from animals raised in confined, high-stress environments. At Leach Family Farms, we believe animals deserve better—and so do you.

Our Chickens:

Our meat birds live in mobile chicken tractors, which are moved to fresh pasture every single day. This keeps them in a clean environment and gives them daily access to sunshine, grass, and bugs—the way chickens are meant to live! They are free-range but protected from predators and harsh weather, so they can safely scratch, forage, and roam.

We feed them a high-quality, Alberta-sourced feed that’s free of corn, soy, canola, and synthetic chemicals. While not certified organic, it is tested for glyphosate, herbicides, and pesticides, ensuring it's clean, safe, and healthy. Because they’re raised in a low-stress, natural environment, their meat is more flavorful, tender, and nutrient-dense than conventionally raised birds.

Our Pigs:

Our pigs are rotationally grazed on pasture, meaning they are frequently moved to fresh ground. This gives them access to clean space, new forage, and a natural lifestyle that supports both soil health and animal health. They are never given antibiotics or growth hormones—instead, we support their wellness with apple cider vinegar in their water and a balanced, glyphosate-free diet.

Unlike factory-farmed pork that often comes from pigs confined to concrete barns, our pigs enjoy sunshine, rooting in the soil, and just being pigs. The result is pork that is richer in flavor and raised with care and respect.

🐄 Our Cows:

Our cattle are 100% grass-fed and rotated through a series of fresh, carefully managed paddocks thanks to our newly installed fencing system. This regenerative approach builds soil, grows healthier pasture, and supports the health of the herd. Our cows are never confined to feedlots or fed grain—instead, they graze the way they were designed to, with plenty of space and clean water.

This slow, natural approach means the beef we’ll eventually offer is not just nutrient-dense, but also better for the land and the long-term sustainability of our farm.

What is regenerative farming and rotational grazing?

Regenerative farming is all about restoring soil health, increasing biodiversity, and improving the land for future generations. Instead of depleting the soil, it helps rebuild it—creating healthier pastures, animals, and food.

A key part of this is rotational grazing, where animals are regularly moved to fresh pasture. This prevents overgrazing, improves soil fertility, while encouraging plant regrowth.

Our chickens live in mobile tractors, moving daily for clean pasture, fresh bugs, and natural forage, while their manure enriches the soil. Once we bring in cows, they’ll graze before the chickens working together in symbiosis naturally fertilizing and restoring the land.

This results in healthier animals, more nutritious food, and a farm that gives back to the land instead of taking from it!

Why is high quality meat important?

The meat you eat directly impacts your health, energy, and overall well-being. Grocery store meats often come from animals raised in crowded, stressful conditions, fed processed grains, and given antibiotics or hormones—leading to meat that’s lower in nutrients and higher in inflammatory fats.

At Leach Family Farms, our pasture-raised meats are clean, nutrient-dense, and free of harmful additives, giving your body the best fuel possible. The benefits include:

• Higher in Omega-3s & Healthy Fats – Supports brain function, heart health, and reduces inflammation

• No Antibiotics, No added Hormones, or Pesticide-Laden Feed – Lowers toxic load on your body and supports hormone balance

• Packed with Vitamins & Minerals – More B vitamins, iron, zinc, and antioxidants for energy and immune support

• Easier to Digest & Better for Gut Health – No hidden chemicals, supports a healthy gut microbiome

• Raised the Way Nature Intended – Animals raised in low-stress environments produce cleaner, healthier meat

Choosing high-quality, pasture-raised meat means giving your body real nourishment, reducing inflammation, and feeling your best from the inside out!
