Description
We are a family of 5 outdoor enthusiasts, our dog Nya and cat Cali on a 15 acre farm in Central lake country Ontario! We focus on growing organic heirloom non GMO seed and produce. We are working towards finishing a small earth ship in our spare time and slowly working towards finishing our basement, and building a small outdoor kitchen for our Geodome.
We are currently hosting 15 bee hives as well.
We enjoy culture, art, music, sitting around the campfire and dancing!
We are a vegetarian household but welcome all.
