Sheep in farm

About OVINO

The Akras family at OVINO farm immigrated to Canada 30 years ago! Shortly after, they were disappointed to learn that sheep's milk was not widely-available in store. Once discovering the prevalence of lactose-intolerance in the world's population, they decided to raise their own sheep flock and produce sheep-dairy products. In 2018, OVINO moved from their farm in Campbellville to a new property in Acton, which now hosts over 700 sheep and counting!

Interested in trying it for yourself? All of their goods can be purchased on site! Want to restock? OVINO products can also be found at various retailers and grocers in the GTA and British Columbia, as well as locally at the Acton No Frills.

Why sheep dairy?

Did you know over 70% of the world's population has difficulty digesting cow milk? In fact, sheep milk is the preferred source of dairy for millions of people globally. The farmers at OVINO say that not only does sheep milk digest in 1/4 of the time as cow milk, sheep products contain almost double the protein, minerals, and vitamins.
