ABOUT US
We are a family of 7 and are located in the beautiful Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. Our Certified Organic farm is 73 acres and we have devoted our lives to raising dairy cows on pasture to produce the highest quality milk that we process into grassfed butter in our creamery .
During the pasture season we raise heritage hogs on pasture and meat chickens. We also have a friendly great pyrenees dog who loves meeting new folks. We love sharing our passion for organic regenerative agriculture with travelers from around the world! Our goal is to provide a fun and interesting work environment to our volunteers in exchange for hard work.
