Help on our hobby farm in Vernon, BC

  Description

  We are a young family who have been developing our 2.5 peri-urban property into a productive and diverse hobby farm as we explore market gardening and permaculture. We have a daughter (under 1 years old) and a farm dog Bill who loves visitors. We terraced our hillside in March 2021 and have turned what many would consider marginal land into an abundant garden. We are active outdoors on the lake or hiking when not working and enjoy being social and hosting friends and family for meals and games. Our farm is located an hours walk from downtown or a 5-10 minute drive and are close to a local cidery and hiking trails.
