Grass-fed beef is rich in healthy fats, omega-3 acids, and vitamins and is raised without additives, and growth hormones. Grass-fed cattle are able to move freely on pasture and live the most natural lives possible, for as much of the year as possible. We also feed hay during the long, cold Saskatchewan winters. We focus on health, first and foremost. That means healthy land practices, healthy animals, and healthy people!

A2 milk is a variety of cows’ milk that mostly lacks a form of β-casein proteins called A1, and instead has mostly the A2 form. The Dolden Farm has 2 milk cows who produce A2 milk with potential health benefits. Not only do Dolores and Dennis enjoy having the milk, cream and cheese for their own consumption, their dogs and chickens also share in the benefits of having A2 Cow milk as well as Goat milk added to their diets.

As far back as 1988 we were active in the Goat show world. One of our goats earned her title as the West National Grand champion. She was also the second top milk producing Saanen doe in Canada that year. We were an official Milk test farm for eight years and were in the top 10 every year. Like A2 Cow milk, Goat milk proteins contain lower levels of α-s1-casein, the protein responsible for most allergic reactions to cow’s milk. Research has shown that certain other types of casein, such as α-casein found in Goat milk, have anti-inflammatory properties.

The Dolden Farm is the proud home to several heritage and exotic breeds of chickens who produce tasty, and rich in flavour, eggs and meat. Our Heritage chickens include Buff Orpington, and Cuckoo Maran, as well as the only Canadian Developed heritage breed, the Chantecler. In addition to the Heritage and Exotic chickens found at the Dolden Farm, the presence of Guinea Fowl helps assure a low wood tick population. As the number of wood ticks increase, so do the disease they carry such as Lyme Disease.
