Travellers can learn about homesteading and raising animals on pasture and in woodland. They can get a great experience of life in New Brunswick on the Miramichi. Opportunities to hunt, fish, swim, hike, snowshoe, cross country ski, have bonfires and bask in nature. Miramichi has many festivals to attend and is super friendly! We also teach yoga and can offer to share our knowledge.
