Join Aird Family Farm and Farms at Work for an evening exploring grass-fed beef and pastured poultry in Northumberland County. Established in 1885 and now in its fifth generation of family ownership, Aird Family Farm has practiced regenerative farming for the past 10 years.
Tour Highlights
Grass-Fed Beef: Get up close with the Aird’s herd of Black Angus cattle, raised on a 100% grass-fed diet that prioritizes animal welfare, enhanced soil health, and produces premium, flavorful beef.
Pastured Poultry: Learn about their pasture-raised meat birds and laying hens, which thrive on diverse, untreated pastures and organic feed, and how they contribute to the farm’s ecosystem through natural fertilization and pest control.
Regenerative Pasture Management: Gather insight into effective pasture management practices, including rotational grazing, which work to enhance soil health, ecosystem resilience, and on-farm biodiversity.
Come experience the thoughtful balance between traditional farming values and modern sustainable techniques that make Aird Family Farm a model of regenerative agriculture. Whether you’re a farmer or a local food enthusiast, this tour offers a unique opportunity to connect with the land, animals, and the Aird family’s legacy of stewardship.
