About Swallowtail Farmstead
Swallowtail Farmstead is a newly developing small-scale ecological herb farm & market garden in eastern Manitoba, Treaty 1 Territory (Canada). For many years we have dreamed of the opportunity to tend a small piece of land where we can grow high quality vibrant food and herbal medicine, while building soil health, thriving ecosystems, and a resilient homestead for our family. We are excited to practice regenerative agriculture, and foster connections between human-soil-plant-environmental health.
We want to use our farmstead to support the things we believe contribute to a healthy life: a vibrant local foodshed/medicinal herb shed, strong local economies, community connections, a safe/inclusive space, meaningful work, ecological sustainability, lifelong learning, and joy!
We hope to not only provide you with beautiful vegetables, herbs and plants, but also offer inspiring and educational skills-sharing opportunities through hands-on “regenerative living” themed workshops, our herbal learning gardens, and our farm CSA.
