Custom
Woodworking

We would love to work with you to create your custom products! We do lots of cutting boards, shelves, muskoka chairs, montessori learning towers and other projects.

We also have cutting boards and serving trays (pictured) on hand and available for last minute gifts!

Sebastopol Geese

Sebastopol geese are known for their curly white feathers that give the appearance they are wearing a wedding dress!

Sebastopol geese are a heritage breed listed on the Livestock Conservancy. Our breeding program will help maintain their population and preserve the breed.

2023 eggs are incubating! Goslings are sold straight run for $100/each. Join the waitlist!

Dairy Goats

We keep a small herd of goats for home dairy. We use the milk for cheese making, coffee, cooking and many other uses in the kitchen. We also use the milk in our handmade goat milk soap and lotion!

Our does, Sophie and Maggie, are a Nubian Alpine cross. We enjoy the qualities from each of these large milking breeds. Our does are strong milkers and at peak production we get about 6L of milk per day from each goat!

Our buck is a registered Nigerian Dwarf. Calm, easy to handle and very affectionate. Great genetics to pass on to the next generation!

We call the kids "Mini Milkers". They are a medium size which results in a manageable goat with higher milk production than a miniature breed. Perfect for small homesteads and hobby farms wanting to do home dairy or keep goats as pets.

We have kids available every Spring!

Photography

We are open to photographers looking for a beautiful spot for seasonal minis, engagement shoots, wedding photos, family photos or any other shoot!

Spring rate is $50/hr in the greenhouse. As of July 1st, rate increases to $75/hr and includes the greenhouse and cut flower garden. A bucket of blooms will be provided for your shoot. Alpaca photoshoots will be available starting October/November 2023.

We also book a limited number of events such as baby showers, engagement parties, small weddings and other celebrations through the season. DIY and pick your own options as well.

Contact to book for 2023!

Hatching Eggs

Hatching eggs are available now!

We brought in new genetics from all the way out in BC this season to ensure we had an amazing Copper Maran rooster to cover our hens!

Our flock of hens consists of the following breeds: crested cream legbar, copper maran, americauna, silver laced wyandotte, welsummer, olive eggers (F1, F2, BC1), and some barnyard mixes with the most beautiful heavy blooms!
