"Bread deals with living things, with giving life, with growth, with the seed, the grain that nurtures. It's not coincidence that we say bread is the staff of life."  French artisan baker, Lionel Poilâne (1945-2002)

         Our intergenerational family farm is located in the             heart of Canada’s western prairies, 50 kms                         northeast of Saskatoon in what is known as the                 Trinity region. We grow cereal, oilseed, pulse, clover          and hay crops; and we also raise chickens, goats                 and rare breed Dexter cattle.  

         We have worked with certified organic                               biodynamic management practices for 23 years on             our farm which has been in the Loiselle family for             102 years now since the soil was first cultivated for             agriculture. The soil and climate we work with                     produce very good quality hard red spring (HRS)             wheat and we constantly strive to maintain and                 hopefully improve upon that. We have joyfully                     discovered the same HRS Red Fife wheat that my                 great grandparents grew on their homesteads in                 south western Manitoba then here at Vonda in                 Saskatchewan. Our family is giving it new life and             we now offer Prairie Red Fife milling grain and                 flours for sale.

       Taste some of Canada's past                                                and help shape the future of food.


         Red Fife wheat was the cornerstone of Prairie agriculture and             we’re doing our part along with other farmers, seed savers,             millers, bakers and bread lovers, to ensure its renaissance.                                                                                                                         Saving and growing heritage grains such as Red Fife wheat is          necessary to keep genetic diversity intact, to preserve our                 agricultural heritage, and work towards the common good of             all.                                                                                                                            We’re committed to providing the highest quality, whole,                 nutrition filled, and tasteful foods.                                                                       Yours truly for abundant Life!    Marc
