We're starting a farm!

Here we go, we got some land to use and we're diving in. We've been dreaming about this for years and working towards this reality and it's finally paying off. We are so thankful to the land owners, who are letting use a good chunk of their land, which exists in 2 separate parcels of about 5 acres, in the Pemberton meadows. The land itself is beautiful, fertile soil. It is sedimentary loam from several millennium of flooding from the Lillooet and Ryan rivers, draining from the Lillooet and Pemberton Ice Caps. It is literally teeming with nutrients, and has never been sprayed or treated with chemicals. So now we are getting ready to prepare the land; cover crops and tillage, composting and planning out our fields... Alisha is still in full on school mode, as she works through her last full course load (7 courses!) at UBC in Agroecology, and Delaney is getting his hand dirty on the farm as he finished his degree last year. Its almost October so we have lots to do to get ready for winter to ensure we have good, usable land come spring planting season...
