We also started thinking about what kind of environment we wanted our young daughter to grow up in. With one of us having been a passionate backyard gardener for over 20 years and the other one loving to make homemade pickles, salsas, jams and jellies, starting a small farm was the perfect way to scale up our complementary passions, while at the same time giving our daughter a different kind of education to complement her formal schooling.

So we sold our house in Gordon Head and moved to Saanichton and while it has been a lot of hard work, it has also been an incredibly rewarding experience for the whole family. We have met some amazing people who are passionate about supporting and buying local sustainably produced food and we are happy to provide them with high quality fruits and vegetables at affordable prices.

It is said that to have a happy and healthy retirement you should keep busy, stay active, and stay social. While we are not quite ready to retire from our day jobs yet, we cannot think of a better way than running Valley View Farm to keep us sharp, healthy, and involved in our community.
