Big Barn little farm is owned and operated by Susannah Murphy and Will Frankland. As first generation farmers, they were drawn to the idea of growing food with the intention of providing the freshest, tastiest and highest quality produce with the smallest of footprints. In response to a problematic global food system, they saw a place for small-scale farming with a focus on supplying a very local community in a way that works for people and is gentle on the environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/49a7aad0-fdf8-4379-aebc-1efb70199eb6/IMG_4474.JPG Home - Farm Share Our flag-ship program here at BIG BARN little farm is our farm share program which works as a Community Supported Agriculture system. Customers buy a ‘share’ of the farm every season and are paid out in vegetable ‘dividends’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/dd2bab97-ada8-44e9-b0ee-e9de5b2efba2/image1.jpeg Home - Big Barn School of Basketry This is a special partnership with local basket weaver Sian Gwynne Turner. Sian is a master crafts person and we are honoured to have her as our basket weaver in residence at the big barn school of basketry. https://www.bigbarnlittlefarm.ca/farm-goods daily 0.75 2025-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/651023c9-3867-41bf-b004-c1f85776e261/IMG_1097.JPG Farm Goods - Our Produce We grow over 200 different varieties of vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruit on our farm. Biodiversity is key to our style of farming. We look to the natural world to learn many lessons about cultivating a vibrant ecosystem on our farm. In growing a large variety, we encourage resilience in the crops abilities to withstand pest and disease pressure with the added benefit of attracting a myriad of pollinators and pest predators as well as diversifying our offerings at market. We never resort to synthetic chemicals at any stage of growth which we believe results in denser, more nutritious vegetables and fruit and, of course, is gentle on the earth. We do not have organic certification but hold ourselves to even higher standards and focus our efforts on forming relationships with our customers so you can come to learn the story of how your food is raised. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/e0045403-81f5-4f7a-97b7-c787bca1bfad/IMG_1257%28Edited%29.jpg Farm Goods - Flowers & Crafts Flower gardens are also an important part of our farm. We grow a large variety of flowers and ornamental grasses which provide fresh bouquets for market and restaurants and some are destined to be hung and dried for winter crafting. You you will find these cheerful offerings at our market stall all year round. Not all the blooms are picked, and many are left for the bees and pollinators as well as for the enjoyment of all who should stroll around the gardens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/4aa39336-991a-477c-9b42-db2ed2e0b3cc/IMG_1299.JPG Farm Goods - Our Eggs *** An update as of 2025, we no longer have chickens on the farm, the raccoons won the battle! Our hens live most of the year in a moveable pen called a ‘chickshaw’ which allows us to bring them to fresh grass constantly while still being enclosed in a 200-foot moveable fence. We can’t allow them to be out-and-about as they have the potential to destroy the garden. This system also allows us to put them to work in the gardens at various points. They are wonderful scavengers and do a great job of scratching up the earth and extracting pests. Additionally, the hens fertilize the soil with their droppings as they pass through. In this way, they have become an integral part of the farm and also provide the richest yolky eggs for us all to enjoy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/3a30803b-96f4-4799-b9b3-4a6aa9f060cd/D2B49BA7-6C85-4E56-B45C-A606E3E8DABC.jpg Farm Goods - Transplants Another one of our offerings at market is plant starts or transplants for use in gardens. We grow a large variety of common and not so common vegetables and flowers which our customers like to grow in their gardens. These plants are all raised without the use of synthetic chemicals and grown in a very minimally heated greenhouse which we believe results in strong resilient plants. Look for these offerings in the spring. https://www.bigbarnlittlefarm.ca/farm-shares daily 0.75 2025-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/c544f2ee-e739-400a-8811-9900fb1e60d5/283A67D1-AF89-4BF4-BB35-959C2B21DC6C.jpg Farm Shares - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/d09baf0f-e7cb-4401-bdfb-0581a2b23b99/IMG_1297.JPG Farm Shares https://www.bigbarnlittlefarm.ca/school-of-basketry daily 0.75 2025-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/eb56d893-f49d-4a1f-9ab0-a95f85eebf38/image1.jpeg School of Basketry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/2c47b034-0987-4bf2-a29a-43abafde5989/Julie+Weaving.jpeg School of Basketry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/65dfca2b-29af-4b46-8e21-ece9b6d0ba0f/Susie+Weaving.jpeg School of Basketry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/e122bcc4-6462-4037-99d2-0303b996a7d3/image2.jpeg School of Basketry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bigbarnlittlefarm.ca/contact-1 daily 0.75 2022-02-09 https://www.bigbarnlittlefarm.ca/find-our-produce daily 0.75 2025-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeb4362f3bbe751826243a/12e47d2c-0b88-4630-9db1-c16404be8200/IMG_8779.JPG Find our produce - Places to purchase Antigonish Saturday Farmer’s Market Find us and our produce Saturday in person.
