Know Your Food. Trust Your Farmer. Nourish Your Body.

You Shouldn’t Have to Question Your Food

You’ve noticed it too.
Grocery store food is getting more expensive — and quality is questionable, especially when it comes to meat, dairy and eggs.

Labels are confusing. Quality is inconsistent. And you’re left feeling frustrated, unsure, and disconnected from the people producing your food.

You want certainty.
You want food you can trust.

That’s where we come in.

We’re Your Guide to Better Food

At River’s Edge Goat Dairy, we’ve spent over 25 years raising exceptional, farm-grown food using practices that respect the land, the animals, and the people who eat the food.

We didn’t start farming to chase volume or trends.
We started because we wanted to feed our own family food we felt good about — and we discovered how rare that had become.

The Bigger Problem We Saw

As more people found us, they asked the same question:

“Can you help us find more food like this?”

We realized the problem wasn’t just supply.
It was trust.

So we expanded our mission.

How We Help You Succeed

We created The Centre for Agricultural Connection Ltd to do one thing exceptionally well:

Connect you with outstanding farm-raised food you don’t have to question.

This isn’t an open marketplace.
Every product is personally vetted and accredited by us, using the same standards we follow on our own farm.

Our Simple Plan

We do the vetting — you don’t have to
We work only with farms we trust
You access food with confidence and clarity

If we wouldn’t feed it to our own family, we won’t offer it to yours.

What Life Looks Like with Better Food

Confidence in what you’re buying
Connection to the farmers who grow your food
Meat and farm products that deliver real nourishment
Fewer compromises, fewer questions

Food becomes simple again.

Katie Normet and Will Makxam

Courageous Leaders

Katie and Will met as children growing up in Oakville, Ontario. In 1992 Will headed to Mc Master University to acquire a degree in Economics and in 1993, Katie was off to the University of Guelph to acquire a degree in Agricultural Sciences. 18 years later the two reconnected, brought together their unique skills and experiences and Will joined Katie at River's Edge Goat Dairy.

The primary driving force for Katie and Will is to demonstrate there is an alternative way to farm and produce food. Constant and neverending improvement drives Katie and Will forward. They are always learning, always improving in everything they do from goat management to land management to crafting incredible cheeses.

If the driving force is improvement then the focus of that drive is you.

Katie and Will produce products for you that they feel you will love and enjoy. They also invite you to come to River's Edge Goat Dairy and connect to the land, animals and people who produce your goat dairy products.

Support of this farm and other farms like River's Edge Goat Dairy is powerful. We can change our food system to better our environment, communities and our health. River's Edge Goat Dairy is proof that food can be produced in different ways that benefit us now and for future generations to come.
