Origin Story
It all started in 2005 when Mike Kozlowski, founder and owner of Steel Pony Farm, traveled to Kenya. There, he was asked a simple yet life-altering question: “Tell us about your farm.”
​
The only problem? He didn’t have one. In fact, he had never grown a single plant.
Struggling to explain the global food supply chain to a remote Kenyan village, he learned how disconnected he - and so many others - were from food production. That moment sparked a journey of discovery. Determined to understand where food truly comes from, Mike cycled across large parts of Canada, visiting farms and learning from growers along the way.
​
By 2011, that journey led him to start Steel Pony Farm. What began as a modest one-acre plot – hand-planted and harvested and biked into Red Deer (on his steel pony) to serve 30 members - has since grown into a thriving 8-acre operation that now feeds up to 300 families a week.
​
In 2020, as the world changed rapidly, Farmer Mike saw a growing need to strengthen Canada’s food system - especially in Central Alberta. Steel Pony Farm expanded by partnering with local producers, making it easier than ever for our customers to shop local.
​
Today, we proudly offer over 250 high-quality, Canadian-sourced products, including eggs, vegetables, dairy, fruit, grains, meat, spices, coffee, tea, and more. By bringing together the best from local producers, we help families access fresh, nutritious food while strengthening our community’s connection to where their food comes from.
