Hi, we are the Simundsson’s, the family behind Prairie Grass-Fed Meats. Our current homestead was settled in 1901, just outside of Arborg, MB, by our ancestors, who emigrated from Iceland. We are currently in the fourth generation of farmers to work the land and care for livestock and are passionate about sustainable farming practices and healthy food. Bragi and Heather currently run the farm, with two of their children, Odinn and Heida, beginning to take a role in various aspects of the operation. Our diversified farm consists of grass-fed beef, lamb and poultry as well as both conventional and organic grains, oilseeds, and forages and a leafcutter bee pollination program.

We believe that animals play an integral part of a farming system, helping to recycle nutrients and improve the sustainability of the farm as a whole. Of course as well provide a healthy source of protein to our diets. Our grazing methods aim to reflect how bison sustainably grazed the prairies for years, by implementing rotational grazing. This combines short intense grazing periods with long rest periods for the grass to recover as we rotate the cattle through fenced in paddocks.

At our farm, we focus on a natural diet for our animals, which, for ruminants is a 100% forage based diet, with no artificial hormones or sub-therapeutic antibiotics. As founding members of the Manitoba Grass-Fed Beef Association (http://www.manitobagrassfedbeef.ca), you can rest assured that we are producing a quality product with integrity. In addition to providing a natural diet for our animals, we also believe in treating our livestock with respect and care, proof by our certification from the Winnipeg Humane Society for ethical treatment of animals.

We enjoy building relationships with our customers and we’d love to hear from you.
