Hailing from New Hamburg (about 15 minutes east of Stratford), the Lass family has been farming these fertile lands for almost 150 years. Their 300-acre farm produces wheat, corn, soybeans and hay, and raises grass-fed beef cattle and pigs. Aside from farming, Christine is an accomplished potter who creates unique pieces in her studio—a renovated 160 year-old barn. Mark and Christine have two children, Madeline and Joe.

"Choosing products that are made with home-grown wheat enables your Canadian farmers to practice sustainable agriculture, enabling the availability of good wholesome foods for you and future generations."

The Olthuis family farm was started in the 1920s by their grandfather who literally cleared the land by hand. The farm was passed to his sons who expanded the acreage immensely over the years. Today, Zach and his brother Seth each farm 1000 acres of wheat and canola. Zach and Mary oversee more than just the crops. They have two small children, Levi and Kate. Without a doubt, the Olthuis farm is a family affair.

"Canadians wish to eat healthy as well as support local economy. By purchasing Country Harvest products they are supporting Canadian grain farmers across this country who rely on their loyalty. Country Harvest uses only home grown top grade wheat which is something everyone can feel pleased to feed their families along with themselves."
