We're building a DREAM!!

Our property is fully treed with roughly 15 acres of planted cottonwood forest and 25 acres of older growth BC forest.  Our plan is to eventually have the cottonwood cleared so that we can add large rotational gardens, pasture, fruit trees and berry gardens that will sustain us and our livestock...and our animals are helping us do just that!  

 

 Having come from family farm backgounds and being only the first generation off the farm we’re eager and elated to be starting one of our own! 

To ensure their complete nutritional needs are met, we do supplement our animals' daily diets with Top Quality feed that is produced right here on the Island and is non-gmo and non medicated with no antibiotics or hormones.  However, their diets are primarily made up of all the roots, grass, moss and shrubs they can find…the way that Mother Nature intended them to be! 

Our animals are on the move!  Our mission is to raise happy and healthy animals who enjoy as natural a diet as possible.  By using electric fencing we’re able to rotate their pens so that they have continuous fresh stomping grounds and forage, and being kept safer from natural predators.  Our goats, ducks, guineas, chickens and turkeys spend their days free ranging wherever they please and our pigs have large rotated pastures with lots of room to roam around:)

With no “set” pens, watering systems and shelters have to be light, portable and easy to manoeuvre as they get moved regularly with the animals to always ensure that they have lots of clean water to drink and and a roof over their heads when they want one…a lot of work for us but totally worth it to watch them happily playing and thriving. 

 We care about how we live and what we put in our bellies, so naturally we care about how they're living and what’s going into their bellies, too!

UPDATE!!

Our plans have been working!  We started here with little but trees and a tent--no Hydro, no running water....just dreams and a determination to make this property into our dream come true:)  We're getting there and now have grassy pastures, fruit trees that are just starting to produce fruit and a whole lot of happy critters always keeping us entertained and busy:)
