Farming for future generations
Our Mission
Mrs. Ground Up grew up on a dairy farm in Embrun, Ontario, developing a passion for animals and later becoming an Equine Canada-certified riding instructor. She pursued degrees in Animal Science (McGill University) and Education (Ottawa University), eventually moving to Calgary in 2009 to teach.
Mr. Ground Up, a Calgary native, deeply loved the prairies and worked as a Red Seal-certified HVAC technician, running his own business. Despite his strong ties to the West, he made the life-changing decision to leave and embrace farming when the opportunity arose.
Their love story began at Ranchman’s in Calgary, leading to marriage on Mrs. Ground Up’s family farm. They built a life together and had two sons. When the opportunity to take over the homestead arose in 2024, they made the leap, fulfilling a lifelong dream.
Ground Up Ranch is committed to raising regenerative pastured poultry, beef, and sheep, with plans to introduce honeybees. Their goal is to provide high-quality, sustainable food while restoring biodiversity and promoting wellness for families.
Their journey is one of passion, resilience, and building a farm—literally and figuratively—from the ground up.
