ABOUT THE LAND This opportunity is on 43-acres of ALR land near Black Creek, BC. The land is mostly treed, but has a 4 acre pasture that is presently in hay. The pasture has the potential to accommodate market gardening and livestock, and the owners envision an agroforestry component in the future. At present, the property is totally off-grid – no grid power, nor municipal water. There is a shallow well that is capable of supplying enough water to irrigate the pasture as well as provide potable water, and we will be installing a water system to support this. There is … Continue reading LAND OPPORTUNITY: Off-Grid Farming on Beautiful Acreage – Black Creek, BC →

Horse Power at Wildwod Farm

By Tim and Linda Ewert, Wildwood Farm “We are looking for energetic, passionate, co-operatively minded farmers to participate in a three-month residency on a 160 acre mixed farm in Northeastern B.C.

If this idea appeals to you, please go to https://wildwood.farm/ for details and contact information.” We came to the Peace Region as a young couple to build a farm from scratch, where … Continue reading FARM RESIDENCY: POUCE COUPE, BC – Wildwood Farm →
