Each week during the Ontario Young Farmers Forum we will be putting a spotlight on a different Canadian farm. Lori Smith and Martin Littkemann from the Ontario Water Buffalo Company will join us for our third farm spotlight.
Lori Smith and Martin Littkemann
Lori and Martin own and operate the Ontario Water Buffalo Company in Stirling, Ontario. They began the company because they wanted to try something different. After touring water buffalo dairy facilities in Italy, Lori and Martin purchased 40 Italian-bred water buffalo from a farm in Vermont. In September 2008 they started milking, and soon after purchased 10 Bulgarian water buffalo from a farm in British Columbia. Today, their herd numbers over 700 water buffalo, some friendly cats, horses, and a smiling dog!
