We have a dynamic growing family farm on a mountain near Kamloops, bc. Learning as we grow, we are developing a orchard, large vegetable garden, permanent greenhouses, and working to give our animals the most natural comfortable lives possible. (horses, dogs, cats, chickens, pigs). Our family consists of 2 in house children ages 14-17 years of age and three that are home periodically.
With many tasks at hand and teaching/learning as we go we work as a family and our workawayers become part of our family dynamics. The kids are homeschooled and we are always looking for unique learning opportunities for them.
We look forward to embracing new thoughts, ideas and trading knowledge of farm, forest and life. We are a very open minded family, off grid - solar, septic, internet, however limited cell service coverage no landline and in the middle of nowhere, completely surrounded by crown land.
