  Description

  We are a family run vegetable farm located in Brisco, B.C. We farm on just over 5 acres, and have several greenhouses which we grow vegetables in them as well. We sell our vegetables on our weekly delivery service to our communities, Golden and Invermere. We live near the Bugaboo provincial park, so if you love hiking and camping this is the perfect place to work.

  What else ...

  There is lots of lakes and the Columbia Wetlands are right in front of our farm so canoeing and fishing is a great time. We have a canoe and boat if they would like to go. Backcountry hiking and camping is great in our area as well. We are very close to Banff, Lake Louise and Kootaney National Parks. Our local towns are about an hour away, via car, Invermere and Golden. Shared shower/tub is the only thing shared.
