According to our friends at Struisvogel Ranch, “Ostrich meat stands as a healthier choice for both you and the environment,” says Brittany Denouden, owner of the ostrich farm, along with her husband, Caleb. “With significantly less land and feed needed per pound compared to beef, and minimal methane emissions, it’s a
win-win for your well-being and sustainable living,”
Most who have tasted it say it’s as rich and tender as the choicest cut of beef, but with the fat content of, well, a bird like chicken or turkey. And that’s not all: Almost every part of an ostrich has a purpose. “The
leather is renowned as one of the finest in the world, the feathers make terrific dusters, and their oil stands as a perfect natural moisturizer,” Denouden says. “Our journey in Ostrich Ranching has been truly remarkable, and much like the arrival of spring, we are eagerly anticipating further growth and flourishing ahead!”

P.S. Ostrich can be great for dogs, especially those who have food allergies, but always check with your vet first.
Springtime at Struisvogel Ranch
“Spring marks the beginning of the chick-rearing period. Ostrich chicks require special care and attention, and spring provides the favourable conditions needed for their growth and development. Our first chicks of the season will usually hatch at the end of May and our brooder room quickly fills up with baby ostrich chicks.”—Brittany Denouden, co-owner of Struisvogel Ranch in Carrying Place, ON.
