Project

Farm Name
MacDonald Farm
Farm Project Description

We would love to move away from the hustle and bustle of the city, while trying to be more self sufficient. We are a family of 4, with 2 young sons who love all animals and helping me with my current garden. Ideally we would love for the ability to have chickens, and a couple cows, as well as a vegetable garden and fruit patch, with the possibility of rabbits or pigs for additional meats. We don't need a house but it would be helpful. We could always use an rv, so long as there is power, water, and a place to dump. We are located in Vernon BC, currently and unfortunately we can't move too far from area, however would be open to Silver Creek, Falkland, Vernon, Armstrong, or any areas in between.
