Happy Halloween from Luna and everyone at Cedar Row!🧡

If you have any extra uncarved pumpkins after Halloween, we’d be happy to take them off your hands! 🎃 Our residents love pumpkins, but please note we’re only accepting UNCARVED pumpkins!

Starting tomorrow (Nov 1), we’ll have a wheelbarrow set up at the end of our driveway for anyone who would like to drop some off!

Wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween! 👻

At 14.5 years old, Sadie had lived a long and wonderful life here at Cedar Row. Although she had been living with cancer, it was ultimately her arthritis and increasing difficulty getting around that became too much for her aging body.

Sadie had been with us since she was just a baby, and left us with some unforgettable memories! One of those was the time she accidentally caught Pete in the face with her horn, sending him off to get stitches.

We are grateful for all the years we had with special girl. She will be missed. 💗

Thanks again to Plant Based & Ready for their continued support! ❤️🐷 be sure to check out their new PB&R Pantry!

For those of you who haven't heard... we have opened the new "PB&R Pantry" this week!

10% of sales from the PB&R Pantry will be donated to The Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary

Available this week...

RED QUINOA: Quinoa is a nutrient dense whole grain that we have been using in the PB&R kitchen for many years! It has an earthy flavour, a hearty texture and it is RICH in ANTIOXIDANTS! You will find it in our Mexican Unstuffed Peppers, as well as our Broccoli Casserole and we have even sold it to our clients fully cooked and ready to heat n serve just plain and perfect for years!! Now you can purchase the uncooked grain from us in a 400gm tub for just $5.00!

SOY CHUNKS: Considered a nutrient powerhouse, these beauties far surpass the protein content of any meat, eggs or milk, making them an excellent staple in plant-based diets. They are composed of over 50% pure protein and contain all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein source. You will find them in our Instead of “Beef” Stew, our “Beefy” Soy Chunks and our Butter “Chicken”. Rehydrate in water or veg stock and check out the endless YouTube videos for excellent recipe ideas. You can purchase a 250gm bag from us for just $3.00!

NATURAL ALMOND FLOUR: Unblanched almond flour is milled from whole almonds with the skin left on! This gives it a slightly darker, more robust and nutty flavour! It provides a denser texture in breads, pancakes and cookies! We use it in the crumble of our Nutty Apple Crisp and as the base for our Peanut Butter Cookies! You can purchase a 200gm container from us for just $5.00

NATURAL WHOLE ALMONDS: Because they are left in their most basic state, natural almonds are an incredibly dense source of daily nutrition and packed with healthy fats, fibre and protein! We use these almonds when making our Parmesan, Chocolate Cherry Christmas Balls and our Granola Bars! You can purchase a 500gm bag from us for just $10.00

NATURAL WALNUT PIECES: Well known to support heart health, blood sugar control, weight management and cellular protection… these unroasted, unsalted and ready for baking, snacking or cooking! We use these nuts in our Chunky Monkey Oatmeal Muffins, Bean & Mushroom Burgers as well as our Tofu Turkey Balls! You can purchase a 500gm bag from us for just $9.00

NATURAL CASHEW PIECES: Perfect source to support heat health, blood sugar control, bone and muscle strength, immune support and weight management! We use them in so many ways… sauces, soups, desserts, cheeses etc! They are absolutely our most used nut in the PB&R kitchen! You can purchase a 250gm bag from us for just $7.00

That’s it for the pantry this week… next week we will be adding Nutritional Yeast, TVP, spices and a few more items! Stay tuned

Please note: the spirit behind this category is for you to ADD-ON to your order for any particular week. We are NOT trying to become a bulk dried food outlet as much as we are hoping to rotate our stock more quickly and pass our bulk purchase savings on to you!

Thank you Plant Based & Ready for organizing Pumpkins for Peace again this year! 🎃🧡 We're so grateful for their continued support!

If you're in the Stratford area, please consider dropping off your uncarved pumpkins for our residents to enjoy! 🐷🐮🐐🐓🦃

🎃 PUMPKINS FOR PEACE IS BACK FOR YEAR 7! 🎃 please share...
Stratford and surrounding areas, it’s that time of year again! For the 7th year in a row, we are inviting our amazing community to help us feed some very special friends. Instead of tossing your uncarved Halloween pumpkins in the trash, bring them over to Plant Based & Ready to support the beautiful animals at Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary in St. Marys! 🐷🐮🐑
Every single year, you blow us away by dropping off hundreds of pumpkins. Let’s make this year our biggest haul yet!

Where to Drop Off

• Address: 61 Guelph St, Stratford (We are located right across from the train station platform!)
• Look for the Sign: Just look for the "Pumpkins for Peace" sign at the front of the house and place your pumpkins anywhere on the lawn! (See the photo below! 📸)

⚠️ Important Pumpkin Guidelines

To keep our animal friends safe and healthy, the sanctuary can ONLY accept pumpkins that are:
• Uncarved & Whole (Carved pumpkins rot too quickly and attract mold)
• Unmarked (No magic markers, paint, glitter, or bleach)
• Free of wax or candle residue

🗓️ Timeline

We will be collecting your pumpkins from now until the snow comes! Pete comes by each week and trucks the pumpkins back to St Marys for the animals... so feel free to drop them off whenever you are done with your autumn displays.

Let's keep these pumpkins out of the landfill and turn them into a delicious, nutritious treat for the sanctuary animals. Thank you for your incredible support year after year! 🍂✨

The temperatures might be dropping, but that hasn’t stopped the pigs from enjoying their favourite wallow 🐷🍂 Francesca is looking happy as ever!

Recently, our retired mailman stopped by to tell us about 10 hens who had been abandoned at the end of a dead-end rural road not far from Cedar Row.

He had managed to catch five of them while they were roosting, but the others were still on the loose. We dropped everything and headed out to help.

Thankfully, nine of the ten hens were caught and are now safe.

It’s heartbreaking that someone would abandon these vulnerable birds and leave them to fend for themselves. Domestic hens are not equipped to survive on their own, especially with predators and colder weather approaching.

We’re grateful to our retired mailman for looking out for these hens and taking action when they needed help!

Part 2 of our sheep rescue! 🐑

The remaining 8 sheep arrived at Cedar Row last week and are slowly settling into their new surroundings! They’re still a little nervous, but getting more comfortable each day.

They’ve all been checked over by the vet and received their first round of vaccinations. In a couple of weeks, we’ll begin following up with some potential forever homes ❤️

Happy Thanksgiving from Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary! We’re grateful for the animals in our care and for the volunteers, donors, and supporters who make our work possible.❤️

Peace begins on our plates! 🌱🍽️
