Y U Ranch is proud to be LFP certified.

What is LFP Certification? Local Food Plus is a new food certification agency that attests to the total picture of food production including environmental protection, wildlife enhancement, energy efficiency, and sustainable local food.

LFP certifies farmers and processors and links them with local purchasers to ensure that consumers are getting the best food that meets high social and environmental standards. LFP also promotes the buying and selling of local products to local markets. This allows consumers to know that they are supporting their local economies.

For more information about LFP certification, contact us or visit the Local Food Plus website.

Growing a Healthier Environment with ALUS

Y U Ranch is an official demonstration site for the Norfolk ALUS pilot project.

What is Alternative Land Use Service? The name says it; ALUS is farmers using their land in an alternative way to put it into environmental service. It's a new concept in on-farm environmental stewardship that will clean the air, clean the water, and create new wildlife habitat.

ALUS recognizes the value of conserving and restoring Canada's natural resources while rewarding farmers for their important role in environmental management.

If you would like to learn more about ALUS, contact us or visit the official ALUS website. Y U Ranch® proprietor Bryan Gilvesy is available to speak on this topic to individuals or groups who are interested in learning more about Alternative Land Use Services.
