John  Nyman farms and raises a family just outside of Picton, Ontario.   Picton is located in the County of Prince Edward, one of the most beautiful areas in the province.

John has a farming background, being closely involved in the running of his family’s dairy and cash crop farm.

His own foray into farming started in 2001 when he worked a full-time off farm job and renovated a house to sell while farming 100 acres of rented land in his ‘free time’. At that time, the farm was producing roasting chickens, farm fresh eggs, cash crops including corn, soybeans, wheat and continuing John’s longtime maple syrup business from the maple bush on his parent’s property.

Having gone through a series of transformations, JC  Nyman Farms now has a home on 78 picturesque acres that are a mix of productive farmland, pasture land and maple bush. With the move to this new farm in November 2006, JC Nyman Farms has  created the first Meat C.S.A. (Community Supported Agriculture) program in the region.  Through this program, they deliver beef, pork, chicken and lamb to families from Kingston to Toronto.

Though the workload to provide the service is great, so are the rewards.  If nothing else, dinner is going to be fabulous!
