Farm Products
Dickenson Farms is a partnership of 3 farms operated with the same family. We sell a variety of meat products including sides of beef, lamb and veal. There are also packages available for the beef and individual cuts of all three types of meat are also for sale.
GET (Grain Extraction Tool) - This is not a Dickenson Farms product, but I am proud to support the Lambton County Farm Safety 4-H club by offering this free advertising space. Details are to follow, but this tool is ideally suited for Fire Departments to help extract people trapped in grain bins and wagons.

Beef - We have a number of steers that will be available within a month to 2 months time. Since 1998, Dickenson Farms has not used growth hormones in the beef herd. We also do not buy in any calves. We are strictly a self contained operation. Cows start calving in March and continue through until November. Calves remain with their cows until they are approximately 6 months old, during which time they only eat grass or hay and drink milk from their cows. It is not until they are weaned from their cows that they begin on corn. From when they are weaned until the time they are ready for market, they would not receive more than an average of 5 lbs of corn/day.
Veal - Perchlane Farms (my parents) is a family farm that has been in existence for 3 generations. The veal raised here come from the dairy farm, again, no new animals are purchased. The calves have a diet of corn, protein supplement and milk and do not receive any growth hormones. Like with the beef, no animals are treated unless they are ill.
Lamb - My sister, Barb has a flock of Oxford and Polypay sheep. Barb bought her first sheep 18yrs ago and has grown her flock each year since. Majority of the ewes lamb from January to June. Lambs are left with their mothers until they are 80 lbs and along with their mothers milk are fed a free choice pellet to supplement their diet. Ewes and lambs are allowed out on pasture whenever pasture is available. As well as the other operations these animals are given no supplemental hormones.
