Meet the faces behind Veerman Acres:
Ben and Hannah Veerman
Ben and I grew up and spent most of our lives in B.C. We moved to Alberta in 2021 and are now enjoying life on our ranch in the beautiful county of Athabasca. We are both passionate about agriculture and have been involved with it in one way or another for most of our lives.
We have been married since 2016, and have five children who we are blessed to raise here on the ranch.
We both prayed for and dreamed of starting our own farming venture since childhood. Veerman Acres came to be in 2019 when we purchased our foundation herd of registered goats and quality flock of heritage poultry.
In 2023 we vastly expanded our herd by adding more commercial Boers, Spanish and Kiko goats and are currently managing over 100 head. We take pride in raising and caring for each animal here - it brings so much joy to our lives and we feel fortunate to be able to live this lifestyle!
Apart from ranching (when we get the rare break!) we enjoy camping, hiking, and spending time with family and friends.
We are beyond grateful for all the support each one of you has brought to our small business. We appreciate you choosing us here at Veerman Acres!
