At Gems Café & Bistro, we’re intentional about the farms we partner with — because the quality of our food begins long before it reaches the kitchen. One of those trusted partners is Peregrine Meadow Farm, located near Rich Valley in Lac Ste. Anne County, where the fertile Parkland meets the wild beauty of the Boreal Forest.

What makes Peregrine Meadow Farm special is their unwavering commitment to nutrient‑dense, chemical‑free food. Their philosophy is rooted in the belief that good food has the power to strengthen and heal, and that local, decentralized food systems are essential for resilient communities.

Beyond their philosophy, the farm is known for producing exceptional pork and vegetables. Their Berkshire pork is raised with the same care and integrity that defines all of their practices, while their vegetables — especially their turnips, which are second to none — bring unmatched flavor and quality to the table. These ingredients shine in our kitchen and elevate the dishes we create.

We’re also excited to endorse their Food Box program, available directly through their website. Each box is thoughtfully curated with a mix of seasonal vegetables and high‑quality meats, offering families a convenient way to enjoy the same nutrient‑dense, chemical‑free food that inspires our menu. It’s a perfect option for those who want to bring the farm‑to‑table experience home, while supporting a local farm that prioritizes stewardship and community.

For us, working with Peregrine Meadow means more than sourcing ingredients — it’s about aligning with a farm that shares our values of stewardship, sustainability, and community. When you enjoy dishes crafted with their products at Gems Café & Bistro, you’re tasting food that carries integrity from soil to table.
