Peggy Baillie and Eric Blondin are the co-owners of Three Forks Farms, a certified organic farm on Manitoulin Island, Ontario. Since 2015, they have focused on growing organic vegetables, raising pasture-fed poultry, and developing regionally adapted seeds suited to Northern Ontario’s climate. Their farm operates with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, community food security, and financial viability.With over a decade of experience in local food systems, Eric and Peggy have built a farm that extends the growing season using polytunnels and innovative crop planning. They sell their produce through on-farm sales, farmers’ markets, a CSA program, and wholesale partnerships with retailers and restaurants. Passionate about seed saving and regenerative agriculture, they continue to support local growers by providing high-quality seeds and knowledge to strengthen food resilience in the North.
