Description
We live on a beautiful island called Salt Spring Island, BC. Our farm is home to animals, plants and humans alike. We have three children from the ages 2-4.5 years old. For the most part we live off of our land or local organic foods. Our farm consists of meat goats, a milking goat, greenhouses, gardens, forest hiking trails and a lot of ducks.
