Welcome to Highland Clover: Fenlea Farm!

            Highland Clover Farm was founded in the autumn of 2005, when I relocated from Vancouver Island to the Cariboo Region of British Columbia.  Situated on a little over 8 acres, Highland Clover Farm was named for my Scottish roots and the abundance of clover I found on the property.  It was my first ‘real’ foray into farming, and a learning experience to be certain.  I had part of the land cleared for pasture, built a chicken house, and expanded my herd from a horse and one cat to several horses, a flock of sheep, a herd of goats, chickens, and a dog.

            By the spring of 2008, I was ready to expand further, and take many of the things I had learned and put them into practise.  Thus, Highland Clover Farm was sold, and Fenlea Farm was born.  Also situated in the small community of Baker Creek, Fenlea Farm encompasses 25 acres of land, including hayfield, meadow, wetland, and forest.  Starting from scratch can be an incredible experience… the small cabin was my first major building project ever, and would not have been possible without the help of my family and friends.

            The goal of Fenlea Farm is to live as much of a self-sustainable and ecologically friendly existence as possible… but as with everything I do, this will largely be the result of trial and error.  2009 holds much promise, as I continue to work on the cabin, expand my garden and greenhouse, and expect the arrival of lambs and kids… undoubtedly with the occasional surprise along the way!
