About Us

Fresh Roots Farm was established in 2011, by us, Michelle Schram and Troy Stozek. We produce grassfed beef and lamb and raw pasture-based honey on land that we steward responsibly using holistic and regenerative management, near Cartwright, Manitoba. We aimed to put down “fresh roots” with equally fresh ideas and optimism for growing good food from the land, feeding local Manitoba families and cultivating a meaningful life and livelihood for raising our own family.

“Whatchu lookin at?” This gang of bovine hool

“Whatchu lookin at?”

This gang of bovine hooligans are some of the yearlings, back running with the main herd and now out on pasture with the cows, and calves that are still arriving daily though we’re in the home stretch.

We welcome the sunshine that has shied away for most of this Spring, and look forward to warmth and the corresponding growth that is bound to come with it. Troy and Hin are finally starting in on splitting hives today, going as hard as they can before more rainy weather arrives.

Happy to see many grain farming neighbours get into the fields seeding today, and thinking of many farming friends who are struggling to catch up after a tough Spring weather-wise. When the to-do list feels daunting just remember: one step at a time. Sending hope your way today!

We hear comments like this all the time about our

We hear comments like this all the time about our raw honey. People can’t believe how different it is from what is usually on the store shelves (often pasteurized, canola-based) and how it has a subtle sweetness that isn’t overwhelming. The texture is generally creamy, without having actually been creamed - that’s the diverse floral sources including alfalfa, clovers and other legumes. We love becoming someone’s new favourite honey! ☺️

We’ll have lots of our raw honey jars (500g, 1kg) and pails (3kg, 5kg and yes, even 15 kg) available for pick-up at our May 14 delivery to Wolseley and North Kildonan in Winnipeg. Get your online order in by this Thursday!

We are excited to welcome you all to our farm appr

We are excited to welcome you all to our farm apprentice for the 2022 season - Wing Hin (goes by ‘Hin’, pronounced ‘heen’)!

Hin came to us through the @youngagrarians Apprenticeship Program, and travelled from Olds, AB where he has been studying Agricultural Management. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Hin graduated and worked in the IT business industry for 5 years. However, after a severe iris injury on his right eye, he was forced to reflect on his life’s path and he began his journey towards a career in agriculture. Through taking permaculture lectures, connecting with friends that work in the Hong Kong organic grower community, and WWOOFing in Taiwan & New Zealand, Hin built up some experiences that confirmed his passion for regenerative agriculture.

He decided to pursue studies in Ag Management at Olds College, with summers spent gaining hands-on experience here in Canada. We feel fortunate that he chose to spend this Summer with us, and we can tell already that he will be a thoughtful, hard working and intelligent addition to the Fresh Roots Farm team! We can also tell that the learning will be mutual as he has much to share with us, as well.

He adds: “I am glad that Fresh Roots Farm welcomes me and has given me this opportunity to learn from their farming and kind mentoring. The openness and warm communication have made me feel like I have a stake in the family, more than just a farm hand”.

So if you see him around, please say Hello! 👋 We are looking forward to a great season ahead together.

Woowee chicken fried steak for the win! 🐓 🥩

Woowee chicken fried steak for the win! 🐓 🥩 💯

This is a great comfort food dish, and made easy with our pre-tenderized minute steaks. We enjoyed @mattymatheson recipe from his book ‘Home Style Cookery’ (thanks @taradebra ) with simple breading & gravy...yumm. The only thing ‘chicken’ about it was the chicken broth in the gravy, otherwise I think it’s a reference to the style of cooking, prepared similarly to fried chicken! We served it with bacon & balsamic-roasted Brussels sprouts and potato chipsssss *chef’s kiss*

Still some minute steaks in stock, along with lots of other options...grassfed beef, raw honey, eggs, preserves & more. We’ll be delivering to Wolseley & North Kildonan this Saturday May 14, along with buds from @thedogsrunfarm (check out their pre-seasoned pork taco meat for another easy meal idea)! Online orders due this Thursday. Get ‘er done, bahds!
