We are a developing 94 acre farm with a large garden, chickens, ducks, 4 goats and 6 horses. We are in the beginnings of growing our horse boarding business, training horses as well as haying our hayfields this year. The hay will be sold to other farmers as well as provide food for our own animals. We board and train horses, raise goats and have fun with our goat babies and horses! We also have a very large organic garden. This year we will be continuing working and organizing our art buildings as well as building a tiny home this year! Come and enjoy our views of the interior of BC, while enjoying a healthy farming lifestyle. Organic methods: We rotate our horses and goats in different pastures and let them graze and forage in the summer...the horses are fenced as well as the goats. All of our food that we feed the animals is natural and organic. We will also be growing hay and potatoes and we do not spray or use pesticides. Certifications: Composting, free range grazing, and pasture rotation Current projects: Current projects we are working on are: Preparing the garden for planting in late May and ongoing maintenance of garden, fences, renovating a two room house on the property to become an arts and crafts and pottery studio, foraging for medicine plants, maintaining and cutting new trails through our forests, teaching the mule how to drive, getting the young horses started with groundwork activities and first rides, cleaning paddocks, and putting our goats to work. We will also be haying in the summer months. Internet access available, meals are included.

We had a wonderful time on the farm. Mike and Lorie were incredibly kind and welcoming hosts who made us feel at home from the very beginning. The accommodation was very comfortable, and the food was absolutely delicious. We also really enjoyed the work, as it was varied and interesting, and we appreciated being able to share our ideas. Thank you for such a great experience – we would highly recommend staying here!

Thank you again Lorie and Mike for welcoming us during this month and week. We had a very good stay with you. We were very well welcomed, we ate very well and we felt comfortable from the beginning. You are really kind, caring and pleasant people to live with on a daily basis. The animals are adorable too. We will keep very good memories of this woofing experience with you and we recommend you without hesitation to future woofers! Thank you again for everything and we wish you all the best 🙂 Angélique & Guillaume

Our stay at Lorie's and Mike's farm was wonderful! We had a very good time with the family and they welcomed us as we were a part of their family. The workload was not to much, rhey respected the rules from the WWOOFing program. Mike did always cook really good and tasty meals and Lorie did show us everything for the animals. We really appreciated to stay with you! Thank you for everything and hope to see you again! Antonia & Lars

We had two wonderful weeks with Lourie, Mike, and Elli in September. From the very first moment, we felt right at home. It was great working on their farm, especially with the animals. It's wonderful to see happy animals, even more when you know that they have been rescued, which are many of them. We learned a lot about animal keeping and mule training. Every evening, Mike cooked a delicious meal for us. We enjoyed not only the good food but also the interesting conversations during dinner. We were very comfortably accommodated. We really lacked for nothing at all.

I spent three weeks here and felt very comfortable from the start. The animals are awesome and bring so much joy to everyday life. The shared dinners were always delicious and came with great conversations. Even though Lorie unfortunately wasn’t around during most of my stay, she still made sure I felt welcome and supported. She also gave me the opportunity to work with her young horses and even go for a ride. An experience I truly enjoyed and will remember. It was a really good time, and I’m thankful for everything:)

I had an amazing time staying with Lorie and Mike! I stayed in a comfortable private trailer next to the house. I helped to clear weeds in the garden, care for the animals, and haul and rake hay. Lorie and Mike are both really cool, interesting people and are really good at ensuring woofers feel appreciated and included. My highlights were driving the tractor, bonding with the horses and all the incredible food!
