Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? You’re in the right place. Below you’ll find answers to the most common inquiries about our products, services, and policies.

We prioritize farming practices over paperwork. Many of our farmers go beyond organic standards but may not have formal certification due to cost or bureaucracy. Our beef is always pasture-raised, GMO-free, and ethically handled.

  • Eggs: From Amish farmers in Perth County, raised on certified organic pasture and fed certified organic feed.
  • Pastured Chicken (seasonal): Available Spring through Fall; stored frozen during winter months.
  • Certified Organic Chicken: From select farms in Quebec, certified by EcoCert.

From certified organic farms in Ontario, raised with integrity and care.

To ensure the highest quality, the owner personally visits our partner farms weekly. These close, long-standing relationships help us maintain the standards we promise to our customers.

Our farmers are people just like you and your family. Farming is a very difficult and time consuming lifestyle. Many of our farmers are in the Amish and Mennonite communities whereby they avoid the use of cars, electronics, and social media. We'd like to respect our farmers' privacy and time while continuing to maintain our transparent relationship with them. 

Our farmers must:

  • Have the utmost care and respect for the animals they raise for us, including keeping them outdoors whenever possible, keeping them healthy and well fed, causing no harm, never overburdening them, and raising them in the most ethical and humane way possible.
  • Use either organic or biodynamic agricultural practices, such as natural controls of weeds and insects as opposed to pesticides and herbicides.
  • Be conscious of the environment; including reduction of carbon footprints and refraining from the use of plastic and synthetic materials.
  • Be principled; taking pride in the care, attention and quality of the product

While we wish we could offer pastured poultry and local produce throughout the year, the Canadian winter weather is a challenge. As a result, our pasture raised poultry as well as our local produce can only be offered from Spring and through the Fall. We try to keep an amount of seasonal poultry (freshly vacuum sealed) stored in our frozen section. It will be available until it sells out!

All our meat is Halal and Zabiha, which means:

  • Animals are kept in good health
  • Animals are not harmed nor overburdened
  • Animals are treated ethically
  • Harvest is performed humanely by hand, in line with Zabiha Halal principles

Terminology

Organic, GMO-free, Grass-fed, Pastured - what do all these words mean?

The health food industry is infamous for it's ever changing terminology.

At BlossomPure, we want to ensure that everyone understands what our products are, how they are handled, and where they come from.

Industry use: Often misleading — “grass-fed” animals may still be finished on grain.
BlossomPure standard: Our cattle are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. Raised on open pasture year-round with no grain, ever. In the winter, they’re fed haylage — a protein-rich, probiotic hay that aids digestion and absorption.

Definition: Animals graze freely outdoors and eat their natural diet.


BlossomPure practice: Our hens and poultry roam on certified organic pasture and are fed certified organic grain and vegetable supplements.

This results in superior egg quality and rich, nourishing meat.

Lamb & Goat: Raised biodynamically in Huron County for over 23 years.
Grass-Fed Grass Finished: Raised primarily on a grass-fed diet. Finished on Grass.

A GMO (genetically modified organism) is an organism such as an animal or plant whose genetic makeup has been modified using genetic engineering or transgenic technology. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and virus genes that do not occur in nature. GMO’s increase yields at the expense of quality. 

What it means for BlossomPure: We believe everyone, farmers and consumers alike, deserves to make an informed choice. We do not support any type of study that supports unnatural genetic mutation. Because of this belief, we only partner with farmers who raise their animals and plant crops 100% GMO-free. We also ensure all products in the store are either certified organic, or verified under the Standard Non-GMO Project. According to the Centre for Food Safety use of GMO’s in our food sources increase the risks of toxicity in the body, allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance, immune-suppression, cancer and loss of nutrition. We only partner with farmers who do not feed their animals GMO feed, or graze their animals on pastures that have GMO’s. 

All our products are certified organic or Non-GMO Project Verified. Our farmers use 100% GMO-free feed, and our land is strictly pesticide- and herbicide-free.

We partner with Amish farmers who grow our organic fruits and vegetables. These are then sent to a fellow farmer who turns them into delicious, small-batch preserves — using traditional methods and no artificial additives.

Our deli meats are made from our own beef and poultry, using our house recipe, under the BlossomPure brand.

  • No Fillers
  • No Nitrates
  • No Gluten

Just pure, clean, handcrafted deli meat.

Free-Range: Outdoor access for animals to roam and graze naturally.


Free-Run: Indoor roaming only — no outdoor access.

We source pure honey and Ontario maple syrup directly from Mennonite farmers — untouched, unfiltered, and packed with natural goodness.

We sell only wild-caught fish, never farmed.

  • Why wild-caught? Naturally lean, nutrient-dense, and free of antibiotics or chemical feed.
  • Why not farmed? Farmed fish are often raised in crowded, polluted environments and fed unnatural diets. We avoid these risks to ensure clean, sustainable seafood.

For the past 23 years, we’ve sourced our lamb and goat from biodynamic farmers in Huron County. Biodynamic farming treats the farm as a living ecosystem — producing clean, nutrient-rich meat while restoring the land.
