    Description

    i present myself Mathieu,
    im 31 years old living with my wife (danica 32yo) and 2 young kids (Kaleb 4yo and noah 3yo) on our farmstead.

    we homeschool our children and produce our own food.

    my project is to create food and animal in harmony with nature. my main focus is regenerative agriculture, especially the sylvopasture concept.

    i am regenerating the soil and building a biodiversity on a land that was clear cut by previous owner.

    i want to show to people that we can coexist with animal and nature. my animal are forest raised. and my garden are no till garden, everything organic!

    i have cow (highlander), pig (mangalista), goat (nubian X), chicken ( rri & Plymouth) turkey (red burbon), duck (runner), geese (Sebastopol), Rabbit (rex) and pigeon.

    i focus on heritage/rustic breed

    i am very polyvalent and independent since i do all the step from reproduction to butchering.

    we have as well barn cats and home dogs

    the main goal is to create a community and help other starting their homestead/farmstead in harmony with nature.

    the farmstead is situated in the mountains of he Appalachian, we have acces to brook, lake and river. we have trail to go on top of mountain to see sunrise and sunset.

    if your interested in learning alot of difference skills from feeding animal, planting plants,plating tree, making hay, hunting, hauling wood with horse, assisting birth to goat,pig,cow, hatching egg, building fence, moving animal and i pass .... welcome to the farm :)
