Archie

Always ready to help others
(as a good Canadian does)
and the kindest and most caring person, especially
with animals!
Our farm is so lucky to have someone like him!⁠
⁠
He has been travelling and living outside Canada now for over 20 years, has a passion for living life at its fullest, optimistic at heart and as an international chef for decades, he can make the most delicious meals

Some curiosities about him? ⁠

-> He used to work with tigers, cheetahs and lions (including Aslan, the lion from Narnia, whose name in real life
is actually Zion)⁠
-> He has a true passion
for board games
-> He drove 13+thousands kilometers in 2 months on our roadtrip from Canada to Mexico

Aurelie

Artist at heart, she's been photographing families and newborns for over 10 years and on three different continents. ⁠ ⁠ She is the details oriented one of the team and always striving for perfection, she loves animals and plants, she's a dreamer.⁠ ⁠ Born in Switzerland and moved to Italy at the age of 10, she is known to come up with crazy ideas, like that time that she got us into doing a 1'000 Km bike trip from Norway to Amsterdam all along the coastline...

Some curiosities about her?⁠

-> she travelled backpacking around the world by herself for a year visiting 12 countries⁠
-> she is Irish deep at heart after living in Dublin for 5 years in her early 20's and falling deeply in love with Ireland⁠
-> she is a HUGE Christmas fan
-> She speaks fluently English, French, Italian and Spanish⁠

Faye

The house's sweetheart!

She was born in Madrid on Canada Day (caring about her roots from day one)⁠ ⁠ She is a delight, funny, smart, curious, adventurous and just the sunshine of our little family.⁠ ⁠

Her love for animals is striking (her first word was "chickens" when we moved to our farm) and our Australian Shepherd dog is her best best friend!⁠

Always ready to help and show everyone all farm related tasks!

Skaila

Our Australian Shepherd, and first baby.⁠

We got her when she was only a few months while pregnant with Faye so that they would grow together and never looked back! The bond between these two is just so beautiful to watch!

As an apartment dog (for the first year of her life) she has adapted wonderfully to becoming a FARM DOG!
