OUR STORY

We’re a small farm located about 10 minutes east of Sherwood Park, run by Brian and Tanis MacArthur. For years, Brian and I dreamed of leaving city life behind to start a small farm. We’ve both loved animals since we were kids and were drawn to the idea of growing some of our own food to help feed ourselves and our families.

 

In 2018, the opportunity finally came when we sold our house—and we jumped at the chance. We found a charming old country home that needed a lot of work, and so our new adventure began.

​

Since then, we’ve poured our hearts into transforming both the house and the land. We tore out shag carpets, stripped away layers of floral and butterfly wallpaper, replaced windows, painted walls, updated flooring, and fully renovated the kitchen. That first spring, we brought home just six chickens—but it wasn’t long before our animal family started to grow.

​

We’ve worked hard to improve our property for our animals—taking on the chemical-free battle with invasive Himalayan balsam, clearing brush and deadfall, upgrading fencing, building a chicken coop, and planting higher-quality grasses for our pastures.

​

Seven years later, our little farm is now a vibrant home to our dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. Our lifelong passion for animals continues to drive everything we do, especially when it comes to their health and well-being.

 

Our raw pet food journey began in 2009, sparked by the stomach troubles of our first sphynx kitten—troubles that finally resolved after switching him to a raw diet. That experience changed everything for us. Today, we’re proud to be local distributors of Real Raw Reasonable and Courtlyn Custom raw pet food brands, helping others discover the benefits of feeding raw and supporting healthier, happier animals.
