Our Story- Biodynamic farming
Farm Fresh Local Nutrient Dense Food
The Healing Homestead is a second and third generation family owned and operated mixed livestock regenerative farm located in Parkland County, AB.
We specialize in breeding and raising heritage poultry. Our farm runs with the well-being in mind for land and the animals we steward.
The nutrient-density of our food is a direct reflection of the health of the ecosystem that produced it. Our thriving farm ecosystem produces nourishing chicken, turkey, duck, eggs, produce and fruit.
We invite our customers to connect with the land and where there food comes from, and find empowerment in our community while engaging with our products.
We honour the land on which we stand as Treaty 6 territory. This is sacred land to Paul, Enoch Cree, Alexis Nakota Sioux, Alexander Cree Nations and our Métis friends. We acknowledge Indigenous values, traditional teachings, contributions and historical inequalities. We respect all cultures with an open heart & mind.

Why Healing Homestead?
People often ask, “Why is it called Healing Homestead Store?”
For me, healing has always been a way of life — long before it had a name.
From a very young age, I was deeply curious about how the body and mind work together, and how Mother Nature and her rhythms shape our health and daily lives. I paid attention to seasons, to plants, to how food made me feel. That curiosity grew stronger as I struggled with health issues throughout my childhood, quietly pushing me to search for answers beyond the surface.
That search became a lifelong journey into healing — through nutrition, herbs, tinctures, and the belief that food is medicine. I explored natural supplements and therapies like Reiki, Shamanic arts, and Pranic Healing, always looking for ways to support the body, mind, and spirit as one.
As I moved through adulthood, the puzzle pieces finally began to come together. The “mystery” health issues I’d lived with for so long were rooted in autoimmune disease — celiac disease. And in many ways, the path forward led me right back to where it all began.
Back to cooking and baking from scratch.
Back to knowing where our food comes from.
Back to nourishment that truly supports the body.
Sourcing nutrient-dense ingredients often meant growing them myself — and seeking out others who cared for the land with the same intention. Healing Homestead grew from that passion. Not just for healing the body, but for healing the soil that feeds us, the animals that rely on it, and the land that sustains us all.
Our farming practices are rooted in regeneration — caring for the soil so it can thrive, which in turn keeps our animals healthy and provides abundant, nourishing food. Healing, to us, is cyclical. When the land is healthy, so are we.
And woven through all of it is community.
Healing Homestead isn’t just a farm or a store — it’s an ecosystem. One that includes neighbors, friends, families, and everyone who chooses to support food grown with care and intention.
That’s why we call it Healing Homestead.
Because healing happens here — in the soil, in the food, and in the shared connection between us all.
