About Us
We are Justus and Michelle and our five children. We moved to our lovely 309 acre property on December 29, 2012. We started from scratch, building our 16-sided house, putting up solar panels, and building the barn, fences, breeding pens, the list goes on... Our farm is situated on rolling terrain with mature forest, a fish-bearing creek, natural wetlands and open fields. It is a beautiful, diverse piece of land that we share with native wildlife and plant species. We started acquiring our diverse farm yard mix of animals before we moved to the farm, and haven't stopped since.
Our Philosophy
Key aspects of our farm are:
• sustainable practices
• diversity
• low input hardy breeds
We pasture raise all our livestock as much as possible. We care about genetic stock conservation, most of our farm animals are heritage breeds, and we work within a local supply and demand market as much as possible.
Our Operations
Currently, we have Large Black pigs, Icelandic sheep, a variety of poultry and waterfowl, Rex rabbits, and bees. We also produce a large number of vegetables for ourselves, to supplement the diet of our livestock, and for local sale. The best way to keep up with our farm is by following us on Facebook.
Associations
We are members of the following agricultural groups:
Canadian Swine Breeders Association
BC Honey Producers Association
