Donald Reist
Passed away suddenly on Thursday, February 9, 2023, in his 80th year.
Beloved husband of Karen for 58 years.
Loving father of Vickie (Al) Murray and Donna Reist (Marie-Agnes Pilon).
Cherished Papa of Samantha Murray (Keenan Burnet) and Jamie Murray.
Predeceased by a brother in infancy, and his identical twin brother Dennis.
Don has farmed his whole life in the Bloomingdale area and was joined by city girl Karen in 1964. They started raising and selling chickens in 1969 and grew into further processing and selling at the market, as well as at Hilltop Acres Poultry Farm. He had a passion for his business and work, striving to provide the best products and always putting his customers first. A country boy at heart, Don was happiest spending time on his tractor.
History
Since 1975, Karen and Donald Reist have been using the very best meat and poultry from local farmers to provide delicious, all-natural products. We were proud to be one of the original vendors at the St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market, but have since left the market and proudly serve the Kitchener-Waterloo area with healthy, homegrown choices from our Farm Store.
Our Commitment
You care about what goes on your kitchen table. So do we. We’ve built our reputation on offering products that are natural, simple and fresh and scouring the countryside for farms that meet our rigorous standards. Come see for yourself! Stop by our farm store in Bloomingdale for a fun and relaxed shopping experience.
Our Products
Hilltop Acres Poultry offers high-quality food you can feel good about serving your family. From grain-fed free-run poultry, to meat we grind ourselves, to ducks raised by Mennonites down the road, we focus on providing fresh and frozen products that are delicious, top notch and locally sourced. Our all-natural offerings are free of wheat, gluten, lactose, and antibiotics. Additionally, no hormones are added, and you also won’t find any added salt and water to our poultry.
