This year, we have changed so much, 21 lambs born on the farm, a first for us, also 3 calves increasing our herd to an all time high of 9. We market some of these well loved and cared for animals as meat through our farm store (lamb pre-orders being taken now).

The gardens are flourishing under the attention of the next generation of the family, doing an amazing job, on both vegetables and flowers, marketed in the shop as well as out in the world as the Rambling Bloom, seen at some of the Sidney street markets.

We are still involved with breeding Thoroughbred foals, but at arms length so to speak, at farms in Alberta and Ontario. Having been hands on raising & selling race horses for 30 plus years we are very appreciative of the hard working & talented folk managing our animals for us now. Our horses continue to thrill us, as they race & win across Canada, with 2 winners on July 5th both raised on the farm by Maggie (pictured below) now at 26. ALL the babies she raised are winners.

This summer sees us introduce a new line of feeds that provides some new options like Fibre Plus, a low-sugar high-fibre mix of soyhulls and beet pulp that is popular horse product.

The company is a BC company which is important to us.

Their Harmony horse feeds are corn and alfalfa free for horses with allergies.

We have also brought in the Chatterbox line of non-GMO poultry feed, to give our customers another option alongside the non-GMO Natural Harvest line that we currently carry.

The selling of quality Washington (non-dusty) compressed hay has been a good thing for us and our customers, as we can offer such a wide range of hay types for so many different livestock and horses of all breeds and needs. See our hay inventory and tests HERE

We have an amazing staff here in Michael, Chanel and Benson that is supporting us this summer and I am making the most of it to sneak away with Norman from time to time and explore our amazing island, knowing that the farm is in very capable hands.
