Our Farm Our Lives
Sara and Mike McQuaid
Sara and Mike McQuaid, proud third generation beef farmers from Omemee, Ontario, are embarking on an exciting new venture in agritourism. With their deep-rooted knowledge and love for farming, they have expanded their family business to offer a diverse range of products. Alongside their top-notch, home-raised beef, Sara and Mike now provide their loyal customers with farm-fresh chickens, turkeys, eggs, and an array of delectable jams and preserves.
As the vibrant autumn season rolls around, the McQuaids are thrilled to introduce fall enthusiasts to their stunning collection of vibrant fall decorations. From plump pumpkins, charming gourds, and hearty squash to rustic corn stalks and straw bales, their farm stand is a sight to behold. Visit the McQuaid's Country Market this harvest season for an unforgettable experience reconnecting with the bountiful beauty of rural Ontario.
