Farm Life

We live a homesteading lifestyle at Yonder Hill Farm, centered on producing our own food from our own seeds.  Are you interested in learning about homesteading and seed saving? We welcome interest in short and long term farm stays and apprenticeships, contact us for more information. You can also view our host profiles on WorkAway and WWOOF Canada.

Here is what life on the farm looks like!
