Description
I welcome you to share the beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains surrounding my farm. I am a small scale pesticide free , natural method grower of strawberries, raspberries currants & apples & pears . Something is always needing weeding, picking, painting , gathering etc. as there's no end to the many tasks required to keep things in order;-when not working there are 5 national & 9 provincial parks to explore as well as the extensive # of local lakes for swimming & fishing Not to forget the longest stretch of wetlands along the Columbia River right here in the "neighborhood"!
A bus runs from Calgary to/ from Golden 50 k north of the farm.

The farm is super nice. It is a big property with super nice and cozy buildings. It is a bit secluded so you can enjoy the peace and quiet very well. The neighbors are also super nice so you can spend time with them. There is also a honey farm nearby.
