Description
about us;
We live on a 5 acre homestead in West Sechelt, B.C., a 30 second walk from a 5 min bus ride to the town centre. We have chickens, ducks, a dog, a cat and GARDENS.
Sechelt is on the Sunshine Coast a 40 minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay (Vancouver). 'The Coast' is a tourist destination because of our beautiful and diverse beaches, forests and trail networks, farmers markets, craft breweries, alternative wellness practices, artist culture and music scene.
Wake to the sounds of farm and wild life from the yurt and join the family in the 'Good Life' on the farm.
