Nestled in the hills of the Petite nation just west of Gatineau; we
purchased our 100 acre farm in 1996. Actually we ran out of gas in front
of our farm and saw the for sale sign. Like many city folk we started
with chickens, rabbits and a large garden. In 1998 Maggie followed a 10
month course on sheep husbandry and we decided to direct our energies
toward dairy sheep.
In 2005 we purchased another 216 acre farm just 4km away to have enough
hay fields and another barn to raise our lambs and replacement ewelings.
In 2008 we purchased another 20 acres to become fully self-sufficient in
hay.
Christian takes care of all the building and maintenance. A gifted
problem solver, he has on many an occasion found an economical solution
to chronic problems.
