Grass Fed Beef

From the time an animal is born to the time it reaches your dinner table we take great care to consider the wellbeing of that animal and the environment in which it’s raised. Calves are born on pasture in late spring/early summer and cows are grazed using planned grazing and moved daily to fresh pasture throughout the grazing season

A little bit about us.

Our Mission

We strive to sustain a viable family farm operation with respect for the animals, the land we steward and our community.

What's in a name?

The name Luna Field Farm is inspired by our Livestock Guardian Dog Luna, who faithfully guarded our flock of sheep for many years. She is our true shepherd. Fall 2024 Luna is nearly 13 years old and has taken up living with the cattle. 

A little bit about Lydia
I am originally from Winnipeg. While I was a student at the University of Winnipeg I studied Environmental Science and Geography where I took an interest in systems ecology and soil sciences (nutrient cycling!) Later I earned my Master’s in Natural Resources Management with a research focus on rural livelihoods and gender. My studies have taken me to Mexico and Brazil where I gained an increased understanding and appreciation for agrarian livelihoods and small-scale agriculture. Through my learning and farming experience I have come to realize that pasture based farming and food production are viable livelihood activities for young people in Canada. Farming allows Wian and I to work together, problem solve, learn from others, learn from our environment, and provide our community with healthy food. I am challenged everyday to make decisions that impact how we care for land, animals,family and friends.
The story on Wian

As long as I can remember I have wanted to farm. I always loved grazing livestock like sheep and cattle. I began farming in 2005 after moving to Canada from Pretoria, South Africa. From the age of 18 I studied during the winter months and worked on farms while farming on rented land during the summer. Initially I focused on pastured poultry but dreamed of one day ranching full time on a mixed-livestock farm. For the last decade Lydia and I have been farming in Western Manitoba where we raise cattle, hogs and hens.

I am interested in animal nutrition and how that plays into regenerative & ecologically sound grazing and livestock management practices. I am interested in how habitat conservation fits into perennial agricultural systems. I love what I do.

Off the farm: I had a great time connecting with folks at the Manitoba Council of Administrative Tribunals Conference as part of my role on the Clean Environment Commission.

Photo: Dr Alan Diduck was one of my first professors nearly 20 years ago when I took Environmental Studies as an undergraduate at the UofW. He also gave me my first University job at around the same time as a research assistant. That really built my confidence and interest as a young student. He is a good teacher.

Dr. Durdana Islam was a colleague of mine at the Natural Resources Institute at the University of Manitoba. She is an educator and committed community leader among other things.

I am sharing this here because this province is full of amazing, skilled and compassionate people (like so many of you)! Reconnecting with these folks was such a wonderful reminder of my love for this place, the people that call it home and all of the hard and good work we get to do. A privilege.
