I have known Vance Morse/Windy View Farm for 15 + years. I started out as a customer with my family at the old Brewery Market and followed him to the Halifax Seaport Market. One day I saw Vance at the Brewery Market and offered to help him with his huge line up. At the end Vance asked if he could pay me and I told him no as I was volunteering my time. When he got home and counted his money he noticed that he was richer than weeks before. The following Wednesday he called me and asked if I could work for him every Saturday going forward. I said yes.
Move forward and you will see that I am no longer 15 years old. I have gone to College, Africa, and done so much. I am so lucky to still kept my relationship with the owner Vance. Vance and I started out as Customer, Employee, and now good friends.
Windy View Farm has exceptional products, amazing customer service, and an attitude if it comes off the animal then it can be done. It is hard to get good food these days that you can trust. I am all about animals rights while letting them live for what they are on the earth to do. Provide great food for my family/community. Vance lets the animals be animals. He treats them humanly, does not inject them with all kinds of crap, and most of all lest them roam around freely.
If I was to suggest two products to start your journey with him I would suggest the Centre Cut Pork Chops and his chicken. When you enter his website and see his pricing you have to remember that it is based on per pound and not a fixed price. (No different than if you go to the traditional grocery store). However, If I order the boneless skinless chicken breast I might get a better price than the website because the breast might be smaller than a pound. Keep this in mind.
If you are looking for wholesale prices then you have to email him or call him. One restaurant in Halifax that uses his products is "The Foggy Goggle" and they were one of the first in Halifax to take him on.
So I end you herewith, "give him a try." I don't think you will be disappointed, I know I was not. All it takes is a conversation. :) read more
