Many acres available on this 20-acre ALR land nestled in the beautiful Alberni Valley - picturesque landscape with mountain view and cattle grazing on neighbouring hills. We're looking for farm people (career farmers, part-time farmers and farming families all welcome) to share the land with, as we slowly develop the farm. We'd love to hear from queer and BIPOC farmers!

Description and historical use of land available for farming
Many acres of land is available on this farm property. The majority of land is currently managed as a hay field by the farmer next door, who has cattle grazing in the surrounding pastures. There is a year-round creek running through the property fed by the snowmelt off of the mountain.

Long-term goal or vision for land
We have big goals of developing a diversified farm here, including an orchard, maple trees for syrup, dual purpose sheep, vegetable garden, and a healthy forest. While we're working and raising our children, we're seeking other farm-curious people to share the farm with. An interest or skills in old-fashioned 1800's farming would be very welcomed.
