The sheep are enjoying the blueberry fields in the off season. I just find them so peaceful and could watch them for hours. Pruning the blues starts tomorrow! They’ll be hanging around while we do our snipping ✂️.

And that’s a wrap on 2024. Can’t say it was an easy year… but probably one can never say that when farming 🤪. I love looking back through all our pics and videos because it really makes us appreciate all the hard work to see the beauty and bounty highlighted. It may look like it was all cute animals and fresh produce but of course there’s a lot going on behind the scenes to get to that point… won’t go into it here because we are so grateful we get the opportunity to do this job and we have to thank our amazing staff, our families, and our friends and of course our community and supporters from near and far! Without you we couldn’t do this. Cheers to 2024 and all the best for 2025. Looking forward to an exciting year with lots of plans in the works! Stay tuned 🤩

We have all the local goodies in stock such as jam, tea, dried garlic, wool socks, goat milk soap, beeswax candles, yarn, veggies, and ground beef! (Only at farm stores can you get such a random assortment of stuff in one go lol! 😂)

We’ve been busier than elves restocking everything! Tomorrow is the “bonus day” of the Cedar Yellow Point Artisan Association Christmas tour. We are open 10-5. If you can’t make it tomorrow, we are open Sunday 11-4 and next weekend the 20th-22nd 11-4 as well ☺️
Some highlights that are back in stock - elderberry syrup kits, the rose Himalayan scrub, both room sprays (winter warmth and winter forest), all 3 scents of the YPF soy candles, and our signature “winter warmth summer pot kit.” Plus- all the blueberry leaf teas, jams, dried garlic, honey and soap are fully stocked! Tons of great locally made/grown ideas for teacher gifts, secret Santa steal game gifts, host/hostess, stocking stuffers, etc. we also have gift cards available and 2025 season passes at 2024 pricing.
We are still shipping too, we use alternate carriers right now. You can order through our website for local pick up or shipping.
Thank you and happy holidays!! Oh PS - I’m staying up fixing all our square items, because no gst goes into effect tomorrow- so all our baked goodies like fudge, cookies, squares, coffee and tea will have no gst. And the “Fleece and Fibre” book we carry - no gst! which is BEAUTIFUL btw 🤩

Getting caught up on farm work this week, and got our Christmas tree on the weekend! On the list today- trimming goat hooves. Sharing that in my stories 📕. Seasons change and the work varies, but always something to be done on the farm. Also love our family tradition of getting a tree from a local tree farmer every year and setting it up together (kids did all the decorations this year, didn’t want help!) ‘‘tis the season 🎄

Hard to believe November came and went, and now it’s December! Here’s a bit of a photo dump at the farm… in November we were busy bees 🐝- planting garlic, making all the things (jam, teas, dried garlic, etc!!), hosting the yellow point cedar artisan tour, and matchmaking the goats on their dates with the bucks ❤️. We are still open in December on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays 11-4.

We survived the storm… and power is now back on, yay! Over 24 hours is not fun and makes you realize how much you do use/need modern conveniences… such as water and heat!! We lost both black metal gazebos in the petting farm to the wind… blew right over the fence into the new pavilion. could have been worse but still a bit shocking. The fences and trees in the back all seem to be in ok shape thank goodness! The goats sure love all the fallen branches after a storm. The sheep are hanging out mostly in the forest now that the pasture is flooded for the winter. The ducks are always happy with more water 🦆 💦

We are all set for the start of the Christmas tour which starts tomorrow, and goes for the next two weekends Thursday to Sunday 10-4. We finished up setting up and packing/labelling today in the dark! Christmas tree is up and store is decorated 🎄 🌟
I’ll take more pics tomorrow in store, now that there is light 💡! Hope to see you over the next couple weeks. We will be stocked with local produce, blueberry leaf teas, our own jams, dried garlic, local honey, and much more!

Today was Jam making day! Justin and I spent the day at the North Oyster Hall making a whole bunch of our jam. Yes, It’s finally back in stock as of this weekend!
As always made from our own home grown local yellow point farms fruit that truly makes it so delicious. Good, fresh fruit = great jam ☑️
We made blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, vanilla fig and strawberry rhubarb.
