Growing Up on the Farm, a look into local agriculture, presented by Peterborough County Federation of Agriculture, also fueled by KUBOTA. Today we are profiling Ironhill Family Farm.
As a family food farm producing beef, pork and seasonal vegetables raised and grown for customers’ needs as ordered, there’s little rest to be had at Norwood’s Ironhill Family Farm.
Overseen by Kurt and Jenna Irons, the farm benefits from any help it can get, and that includes the helping hands provided by their children, Connor and Kelsey.
The Irons family farms two properties that it rents, with Kurt noting it’s cost prohibitive to purchase farm property. That said, the work remains the same, and there’s enough of that to keep all busy.
Kurt says now that he’s older, his farm responsibilities are practical as opposed to curiousity-based, particularly when it comes to animal care.
