About Us
Morninglory Farm, founded in 1969 near Killaloe, is an intentional community of 22 residents (18 adults, 4 children) co-operating in 9 separate family households on 100 hilly acres of woods, fields, gardens, orchards, pond, and stream. There are three generations living on the farm. We have begun learning from the previous farm families who lived here and next door, how they did things on the farm in the pioneer days, some precious knowledge that we would like to use and preserve.

We grow and produce using organic and natural methods and ingredients. Our homes/home businesses are powered with solar electricity, and heated with wood and solar. We use hay mulch on vegetable gardens and fruit trees, using grass cut by hand scythes (Ethan, Robbie, and Gary), as well as hay and straw from neighbouring farms.

We often have young adult helpers join us for a few months from the 'WWOOF' program ('Willing Workers on Organic Farms) to apprentice and live on the land in return for their help.

Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
All organic (not certified) vegetable gardens & orchards: composted manure (horse and cattle manure from the neighbours, and our own chicken manure) and composted vegetable waste with rock powders on top of raised beds in the fall, straw and hay mulch (scythed ourselves or bought from neighbours), untreated seeds (some heritage & most open pollinated). We always use crop rotation. Our root vegetables are stored in the original (refurbished) 100-year-old root cellar built into the hill, where they stay firm and fresh all through the winter. Our apples are stored in the old farmhouse cellar. Fruit juices are pressed in an old oak juice press, or made into apple/pear sauce, and are heated and processed into glass canning jars. We dry our some of our pears and apples in slices on screens in the house above the woodheatstove. Interesting Northern varieties of pear and apple trees, some heritage. 11 pear varieties, 8 apple varieties plus wild fruit trees.

Additional Information
100% local, except the ingredients for the Fair Trade Chocolates made by Ben & Ethan Anderman. The sourdough breads are made by Ethan Anderman, from freshly hand- and stone-ground rye and spelt flours, grown in Eastern Ontario. Ben takes local nature photos and has them printed into notecards by Bayberry Lane Print Shop in Barry's Bay. The pears and apples for juice and vinegar are grown by Robbie and Ethan Anderman, with some help from Christina. Various vegetables are grown by the Anderman family, Gary Beckett, and Diana MacAuley. Salves, dried herbs, and tinctures are mostly made by Diana MacAuley, from homegrown & wildcrafted and organic ingredients. Robbie Anderman is a musician of many instruments, and his CD's are a co-operation with other local musicians, produced in the amazing eco-friendly 'Earth Ship Studio' near Killaloe.

Highlights this Month
Garlic Hemp Pesto! Garlic tops (also known as 'scapes'), processed in the food processor with organic extra virgin olive oil, dehulled local hempseeds, and Himalayan unrefined pink salt. Very delicious and garlicky! A beautiful bright green colour. Makes a good spread on bread, or can be mixed into soups and stews or on pizza or mixed into pasta.
