Country Thyme Farms
Country Thyme Farms is located in Bowden. Anna and Daniel Chappell started this 40 acre farm three years ago. They believe in preserving agriculture heritage. You will find chickens, geese, ducks, rabbits and sheep to just mention a few of the animals they raise. Among the mounds of vegetables they grow are herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage.
Country Thyme farms is also a member of Community Shared Agriculture. They also sell their products at farmers markets and at Owl in the Barn, a sister store. You can also stay updated on what is happening at the farm by following their blog or following them on Facebook.

Mmmm.. tomatoes! |
Anna and Daniel are both young farmer with lots of experience. They have a strong educational background through Olds College. I feel they made many strides in the right direction with their farm. They are thrifty, they use a bathtub for washing, the use an old refrigerator truck for their storage and are always looking for a good deal. They are young and full of energy. They are catering to many markets through the CSA, farmers markets, blogs and Facebook. I feel this farm has a bright future!
