Lake Land Meats is part of our 6th generation family business where we have carried on the tradition of farming in west St. Catharines since 1902. We raise beef cattle, deer, wild boar and laying hens and grow pasture, hay and grains. Our on-farm store, which opened in 1995, retails a wide selection of antibiotic-free and hormone-free game meats, traditional meats, eggs, fresh seasonal produce, pickles and preserves from our market garden. Our farm market garden produces an abundance of sustainably grown vegetables for you to enjoy. We offer subscriptions for CSA (Community Shared Agriculture) baskets each growing season or you can just stop by the store to pick up some freshly harvested produce.  
If you buy locally grown food and support your local farmer, then you already believe in our vision. We invite you to join Revolution 2012.  It is based on the principles of Community Shared Agriculture (CSA).  Like other CSA plans, a subscription entails a prepayment in return for future delivery of product. It is a five-year programme that will help us build enough capital to begin the next phase of our development, namely a production kitchen and culinary studio; a place where we can transform the wonderful food our local farmers produce into finished products for you to enjoy.  Join Revolution 2012 and see how you can influence the micro-production of good food in Ontario. www.lakelandmeats.com
