About HoneyChurch
We are small-scale producers of premium-quality, nutrient-dense lamb, known for its exceptional flavor and tenderness. We proudly serve our local communities in the Edmonton region.
Our lamb is delivered straight to your door. Through our online shop you can purchase whole and half lamb. We offer individual cuts in limited quantities.
HoneyChurch Farm began with just eight Icelandic sheep on ten acres of rented land. As we’ve grown, we’ve remained committed to raising heritage breeds (Icelandic and Scottish Blackface) in a low-intensity, pasture-based system.
Located within one hour of Edmonton, we believe a great meal is more than what’s on the plate, it’s a chance to gather, share stories, and connect with the people who matter most. Our lamb is raised to be part of those moments.
I was born and raised in Alberta, Canada, after my parents immigrated from Devon, England. For generations, my family has been dedicated to sheep, beef, and dairy farming in the small village of HoneyChurch.
HoneyChurch has always been at the heart of our family’s life. Weddings, christenings, and funerals have all taken place in its historic church. My aunt, uncle, and cousins still ring the bells in the tower on holidays. The church itself dates back to the 15th century (1401–1500), and historical records from even earlier describe five farms in the HoneyChurch area. Remarkably, all of those farms are still operating today, including my family’s own Slade Farm.
HoneyChurch Farm was born from my deep love of agriculture and a desire to stay connected to my roots.
