Welcome to our Farm
As the seasons change so do the experiences and work on our mixed certified organic farm. The farm is located in the southwest part of the Saskatchewan prairie. The cultivated land grows: cereal grains, pulses, oil seeds, and forage. In addition we raise certified organic beef.
The native pasture is home to a variety of grasses ,forbs and sedges where during the growing season something new blooms weekly. An abundance of wild life roam the area (deer, coyote, badger, rabbits) . For the bird enthusiast there are many species of bird including species at risk .
Spring tasks are diverse , in mid April the main focus is on the cattle as the new born calves are arriving.
Then on to preparation for seeding the crops and garden which involves readying equipment, seed planning and preparing the soil.
Summer is haying time and tending to the garden and a whole host of other jobs around the yard or farm( weeding , fencing....)
Fall brings harvest of crops and the garden and the opportunity to preserve the vegetables.
In the winter a fodder system is maintained that grows fodder for the cattle. Also, time is spent on projects indoors.
The farm is a family operation, husband and wife and one daughter who helps out when she can during busy times ( seeding , haying, harvest , calving). the family members are active in organic organization and groups. Often attending meetings, workshops and webinars.Always wanting to gleam and share knowledge with other organic folk.
Paperwork is integral part of organic farming , therefore, if that is something that a wwoofer would be interested in acquiring knowledge about that could be offered.
The local communities do offer some recreational activities :there is a museum and library within ten minutes.There are two smaller cities within a hour and a larger city within two hours. The cities offer a variety of recreational activities including cultural, music, and sports.
