“Growing tradition, one season at a time, right here in the heart of Cape Breton.”
Tradition Lives Here – Welcome to The Gillis Farm, nestled in Margaree Forks, NS. Our family has called this land home since 1877, continuing a proud farming tradition that’s deeply rooted in our community. With unwavering dedication to our land and animals, we ensure they thrive, producing exceptional, sustainable food that we are honored to share with you.
While we’re rooted in the past, we’re also focused on the future. We are committed to a uniquely Cape Breton way of life, one that preserves and enriches the land, ensuring its resources continue to flourish for generations to come.
At The Gillis Farm, our goal is to cultivate harmony with the land. We prioritize organic, natural fertilizers and avoid harsh chemicals, helping to preserve the nutrients in our soil. This regenerative approach not only keeps our pastures healthy but also benefits our cattle by providing them with the most natural, stress-free grazing conditions.
By farming in harmony with nature, we offer cattle the freedom to roam and graze as they would in the wild, resulting in better meat and a healthier ecosystem. We believe in the power of working with the land, not against it.
At Gillis Farm, we maintain certifications and affiliations that reflect our commitment to food safety, transparency, and responsible farming practices.
People want to know the origins of their food and ensure it is raised ethically, prioritizing both animal welfare and environmental health. You love eating beef but care deeply about animal well-being and the natural world. We understand and share your concerns!
