Who They Are

Zettel Family Farms is a multi-generation, family-run organic meat farm located in Chepstow, near Walkerton, Ontario. The Zettel family has deep roots in Bruce County’s agricultural community and emphasizes sustainable, ethical farming practices.

What They Do

Certified Organic Meat Production: They raise grass-fed, certified organic beef — meaning cattle are grown without synthetic pesticides, hormones, or GMOs. 

What makes them Special

Organic Certification: They go through formal organic certification, not just marketing claims — a trust-building distinction in Ontario’s local food scene. 

Pasture-Based Animal Welfare: Cattle, pigs and poultry are raised on pasture or rotated through grass, promoting animal health and richer flavour in meat. 

Community Connection: They serve local families and markets in the Bruce-Grey area, aligning with the region’s strong heritage of family farming and farm-to-table food systems.
