Field Sparrow Farms

Meet the Family

Bakker Family

Henry grew up on a chicken farm outside of Cambridge, ON. Sarah grew up in the suburbs of Dallas. They met in university. After graduating and getting married, they worked at a theatre in Kitchener, ON for several years. Then, Sarah went back to school for her MA in English. Upon completion, she worked in fundraising and marketing while Henry wrote. In the winter of 2004, they had the opportunity to become partners in an education-based farm in the Kawartha Lakes - Russet House Farm (formerly Sun Run Centre). It was while working with the rare breed Kerry cattle there that we developed our love of cattle farming and grass-fed beef. In May 2007, our son was born. The following winter, an opportunity came up for us to purchase some certified Angus from one of our Amish neighbours. We couldn't pass up the chance to develop our dream, and so Field Sparrow Farms was born.
