Darcy Clow of Bel-Char Farm in Godfrey introduces youngsters to his Simmentals
Local Family Farms in Verona hosted the Frontenac Cattleman’s Association Annual Local Beef Promo day and visitors had a chance to get up close and personal with a fine array of beef cattle from the Bel-Char Farm in Godfrey and the Perry Maine-Anjou Farm near Verona.
Members of two Frontenac 4H Clubs served up local beef burgers fresh off the grill to raise funds for their clubs. Also present at the event were members of the National Farmers’ Union, the Frontenac Federation of Agriculture, Kingston’s Big G and the Matthews of KIX 93.5 FM who were broadcasting the event live. The promo day aims to educate the public on the many benefits of purchasing local beef. In the words of Kim Perry, co-owner of Local Family Farms, which sells a wide array of cuts from their own Black Maine-Anjou and Angus herds, “It’s healthier, fresher and helps local farmers in the area.”
You can pick up a FCA brochure at Local Family Farms to find out the quick facts about beef and where your nearest local beef supplier is located.
Local Family Farms sells a wide range of local beef, fresh produce and other locally-made products. They are located at 6674 HWY 38 in Verona.
