In 2018, we sold the house in the city and bought a farm near Portland in beautiful Rideau Lakes. We were longing for peace and quiet and a few acres in the country. Once settled in, we began purchasing livestock and equipment without any farming experience and SunnyFarm started operating in April 2020 when we welcomed our initial flock of sheep and two livestock guardian puppies. Life hasn’t been the same since.
Soon after, we welcomed Jersey cows and a dozen calves which they helped nourish and raise. Things got increasingly interesting when we pivoted from sheep to goats, having discovered how much we love interacting with these magnificent animals.
YouTube how to videos, close neighbours and experts at the Perth Veterinary Clinic have become our go to fountain of knowledge as we continue our agricultural journey.
Little did we know that this move is part of a broader trend and that others share the same vision and passion for back to basics.
At SunnyFarm, we are proud to play a part in producing locally grown food from well cared for animals that browse and graze native foliage and grasses, and are not subjected to growth hormones, pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Our goat herd consists of dairy breeds (saanen, alpine & lamancha) and our cattle are a mix of herefords and jerseys.
If you are interested in knowing more about what we do, we would love to hear from you!
Kim & Paul
As stewards of this land and the livestock that share it with us, we take our role of growing wholesome and sustainable food very seriously.
We employ tried and true regenerative agricultural practices where animals feed off native vegetation, while enriching the soil and enhancing biodiversity.
We look forward to meeting you in the near future.
