This is what is happening on the farm
Spring 2013
Happy Spring! Hope everyone is enjoying this lovely weather!
We are certainly appreciating the earlier spring weather this year and have been busy pruning and thining the raspberry canes in preparaton for this summers picking season. March 8th marked the one year anniversary of milking the water buffalo. We welcomed 15 buffalo calves last year, 9 were born during the summer and 6 in December (thankfully none on Christmas day!) We are now leasing an additonal 11 female buffalos which means we are expecting a total of 26 buffalo calves to be born this year. We will have lots of new calves during the picking season so plan on stopping by the barn to meet them. Hopefully we will be able to retail some of the buffalo mozzarella cheese at the farm if you are interested in trying some of it.
Enjoy the sunshine and see you in a few months!

Friday, Sept 7th is our final day for berry picking this year.
We will have corn at the Farmer's Market or by appointment if you want a large order. Please call 250-334-4562 to make arrangements.
On behalf of our family, I would like to say thank you to everyone who came out to the farm this summer! We really appreciate you supporting local farmers - we couldn't do this without you!
