From Our Family Farm to Your Table
At Manning Family Farm, everything we do starts with care—for our animals, our land, and our community. As a family-run farm in Falmouth, Nova Scotia we take pride in raising quality beef and growing fresh vegetables you can feel good about feeding your family.
We believe in keeping things simple: honest food, raised locally, and sold directly to you.
Sustainable Farming for Our Community
Our goal is to produce food for the community in an ecologically sound and sustainable way. We believe that responsible farming practices are essential to protecting the land for future generations. By maintaining a balanced system of grains, vegetables, and livestock, we create a healthier and more resilient farm ecosystem. This approach allows us to provide high-quality, locally grown food while staying true to our commitment to sustainability.
Meet Your Farmer
Manning Family Farm began in the mid-1960s when Malcolm and Gail purchased the farm in Falmouth, Nova Scotia. Over time, it has grown into a diversified operation with greenhouses, vegetables, grains, and beef cattle, now run by Dean and Catherine who returned to the farm in 1997 after studying Plant and Animal Sciences and gaining off-farm experience. Today, the farm supplies produce through local markets and wholesalers, with a nearly year-round growing season supported by a strong cattle operation. In 2021, the farm was recognized with The Environmental Stewardship Award (TESA) from the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association for its commitment to sustainable farming practices.
