Creating Unique Food, Feed and Fungi with Integrity

Our Story

ZS Farms is a fourth-generation farm located near Daysland, Alberta. Our our focus is on producing the healthiest whole grains, Pork and Compost. We strive to provide consistent, clean, simple, single whole grain ingredients grown with integrity.

Whole Grain Feed

ZS Farms began providing Equine owners our whole brown flax as a high-quality feed supplement in 2014 under our brand FLAX 4 ALL. Our product line, now all under our brand ZS Farms, has expanded to include milled green peas, whole oats and our Signature Barnyard blend. All of our whole grains and feed products are produced, processed and packaged in our handling facility. Our handling facility has a zero tolerance of any minerals, concentrates, or untraceable byproducts such as screenings, byproducts or “meals”. This ensures there is no risk of contamination from untraceable synthetic gut biotic additives. This provides our customers a 100% traceable product that is completely risk free of any ionophores. This also allows us to continue to provide bulk grains for human consumption. All of our feed is non-GMO, canola, soy, corn fungicide, insecticide and glyphosate residual free.

We have a hands-on approach to our feed production, from field to feed bag. All ZS Farms feed is grown on our farm. We control cropping practices, seed cleaning, processing, and bagging. We continually strive to include more sustainable approaches in our farming practices, which help reduce our footprint on the land. 

Our Natural Whole Grain Feed products are available at these Retail Locations.

Pork

Examining products applied to crops and how they affect the soil microbiome, we determined that true health starts in the soil. We started composting using a unique approach using pigs. Our pigs provide a high fungal multiplication aspect of transforming our feed and forage into our soil amending compost. They are raised outdoors where they have full access to fresh air, sunlight and space to move around. They are fed only feed and forage produced here on farm to complete the full circle cycle. In turn, every new generation of pigs produces higher quality food and fungi.

Compost

Our compost is the most important aspect of rebuilding what years of synthetic inputs have done to our soil. Every year produces increased nutritional density and healthier ingredients. We now provide our high-quality fungal compost to help with your own soil transformation.

Our Future

Our approach to farming is now full circle: from fungi to field to feed. Creating high fungal compost, to rebuild the soil microbiome in which we grow our crops, creates truly clean feed ingredients. We do it all without the use of any synthetic chemicals; no fertilizers, no herbicides, no insecticides, no fungicides. We are the first full-scale farm in Canada to successfully implement this specific approach.

This is one more step in providing transparency and traceability while producing the healthiest whole grain ingredients possible.
