In 2019, we left busy careers, sold the house in the city and moved to a farm near Portland in beautiful Rideau Lakes. We wanted peace and quiet and some land. We also did not have any farming aspirations or prior knowledge about raising sheep, cattle or goats. Yet once relocated to our idyllic spot, we started dreaming about populating empty pastures with livestock.
SunnyFarm was born in April 2020 when we welcomed our 1st flock of sheep and two livestock guardian puppies. Life hasn’t been the same since.
Soon came two jersey cows and a dozen bottle calves. Things got more interesting as we pivoted from sheep to dairy and fiber goats that challenge us mentally and physically, every day.
YouTube, close neighbours and experts at the Perth Veterinary Clinic have become our go to fountain of knowledge as we climb the steep learning curve of farming.
Little did we know that this move was part of a broader trend and that others share in the same passion of back to basics farming.
At SunnyFarm, we are proud to play a part in producing locally grown food with well cared for animals, that are not subjected to hormones, pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Our herd (consisting of 15 adult does, yearlings and 2024 babies) enjoy a good life and reward us with the most amazing fiber, meat and dairy.
