Leahy Stock Farm Serving the Peterborough region

Local Food Canada's Scoop

Leahy Stock Farm, a cornerstone of the Douro community, embodies generations of farming heritage, with roots tracing back to 1825. This multi-generational family operation, now involving the fifth, sixth, and seventh generations, is deeply committed to sustainable practices and high-quality local produce. They specialize in premium lamb, raised from their unique Icelandic sheep flock, carefully established by their daughter. This particular breed is known for its exceptional meat quality, offering a distinct and flavourful choice for discerning palates. Locals cherish Leahy Stock Farm not only for their delicious, locally-raised lamb but also for their unwavering dedication to family farming traditions. Their commitment to stewarding the land, including two distinct properties in the area, and involving the entire family—from their son Patrick and his family to son Daniel—resonates deeply with the community. Shoppers appreciate the transparency and the knowledge that they are supporting a truly local, family-run business that prioritizes animal welfare and quality, bringing a taste of authentic farm life directly to their tables.
