We produce high quality broiler chickens, corn, soybeans, wheat and edible beans. We have a full line of modern equipment with current technology from planting to harvest. Our eager, experienced team is ready to work with you!. The breezes that blow over Bayview Poultry Farm in Nova Scotia don’t just keep the mosquitoes away during the summer. They also rotate the wind turbines that generate power for the egg farm, enabling the Jennings family to use a renewable energy source – and helping them reduce operating costs on their farm. Over the years, housing for the hens and feeding and manure removal systems have evolved to benefit the hens and simplify farming tasks. Advancing technology has meant many procedures on the farm are now mechanized or computerized, but egg farming is still a hands-on job. Glen agrees. “I love producing an environmentally-friendly product for consumers. Knowing that eggs laid on our farm are enjoyed by friends and neighbours in our community and fellow Nova Scotians brings us great joy and motivates us to do the best job we can as farmers. I am very proud of my family’s dedication to the environment. We installed three wind turbines on our naturally windy farm resulting in nearly three quarters of the farm’s power coming from wind, with plans to soon go off the grid entirely. I enjoy taking pride in producing a fresh, nutritious product that people feel good about eating. I enjoy it. I love it! No. In Canada it is illegal to administer hormones or steroids to hens in any form, including through feed or water. Any antibiotics or medications are only given under the direction of a veterinarian. The farm was established by my great-great-grandfather, Stephen Jennings. Then it was passed down to his son, and my great-grandfather Earl Jennings. No, it has not always been hens! It started out as a variety of things – dairy and beef cattle, hens, crops, pigs, and sheep. We’ve seen it all! The original farm has been divided into two separate farms. While I mainly work on the poultry farm, I do help out on weekends at the dairy farm milking and feeding cows, along with planting and harvesting crops in the spring and fall seasons. As part of the program, I completed a number of learning modules through EFC! The modules ranged from topics such as public speaking, marketing, and strategic planning to more industry specific topics such as on-farm food safety and animal care programs. For me, one of the best parts of being involved in the young farmer program is having the opportunity to meet with other young farmers from all across the country. It’s good to be able to discuss issues that have come up all across the country. We share stories about how we deal with issues and overcome problems. It’s very helpful. But most exciting, in 2014 I met Prince Charles at the Halifax Seaport Market during an official royal visit to Nova Scotia! It was an incredible experience. Not only getting to meet and shake his hand, but to have a conversation and tell him a bit about our farm. Anyone who visits the farm will notice how windy it is here. We were looking for something new to try that would make the farm more environmentally friendly and potentially save some money in the long run. We’ve been exploring new ways to go green. Knowing I am providing my home province with high-quality, nutritious product means a lot to me. But, knowing that my father and grandfather strongly believe in my ability to run the farm on my own someday means even more
