  Description

  Hi there! We are a young family of three and we live on a ranch in the Northern Interior of BC, the Cariboo. The ranch sits on top of a hill overlooking the beautiful Quesnel area. It is very spacious and welcoming, surrounded by lush forest and hay fields. Aside from a herd of beef cattle, there is also horses and dogs. Much of our time is spent outdoors both working and playing.
