  Description

  Vogt Meadows is a 40 acre hobby farm with gardens located at scenic Lewes Lake, 50km south of Whitehorse. We are a retired couple with a young dog called Rosie. We're originally from Switzerland and arrived in the Yukon 30 years ago. We enjoy the outdoors and growing our own food. We love to hunt and cook wild meats and our vegetables, as well as bake our own breads. We enjoy meeting people from around the world.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We treasure our rural Yukon life style, living sustainably in the pristine North. We live very close to nature and coexist with all kinds of wild critters like bears, moose, caribou, wolves, eagles etc. We often encounter them out and about and really enjoy living in this wild country. If you're keen to learn about this lifestyle, this is the right place for you.
