Swampy Acres Forest Farm

We are a small scale vegetable and fruit farm. Our aim is to provide local and sustainable produce!

This year of “stepping back” has allowed us to spend important moments and resources on our family. Dustin and I have still managed to sneak in a few trials which we hope may be more of a hobby business in the coming years. Knowing that we can’t do everything we once wanted to but we can still have a little fun. Here’s some of our projects this summer.

We still love our forest farm and had some extra help this weekend so we spent a little time working at it. Watering and weeding and planting. We watered about an acre of our healing forest and observed lots of regrowth from the clearing that was done a few years ago. It is super dry so we gave the blueberries and other plants a little boost. We planted our tomatoes, peppers, and squash that were all grown from seed after throughly weeding some of our bigger gardens as well. We may not have the time to give it our all but we are going to try to keep up with what’s here and enjoy watching it grow. We love that when we nourish this garden and land, it returns nourishment for us ❤️

We used to want to be totally sustainable and independent by growing everything for ourselves…now we just want to do something like this!

Expanding our home gardens to learn and be a little sustainable but also still living a normal modern life and keeping up with our kids, pets, and jobs.

We have been working to keep swampy acres as a fun hobby with low maintenance veggies like roots and squash patches and berry picking but still having the time to play and enjoy the summer ❤️.

Maybe one day we will have the time to do more but for now we are focusing on doing what we can and having fun.

Today we donated some brand new copies of our favourite family books about where food comes from and the importance of growing to the Schreiber public library for all families to enjoy! This will add to the amazing selection of garden books and resources they already have! These long dark days are a perfect time to plan what your family might grow and observe this spring!

Happy New Year everyone!
Heading into a new year of working on out lot we have decided to work more in harmony with our beautiful land, we are looking at what's right in front of us and using our natural bounty to help us heal our minds and bodies. We are thinking berries, flowers, and tree's, encouraging growing for others and trialing some shelf stable healthy treats.
We are going to be working and learning all year, but we are going to take a step back from media and marketing and keep it minimal while our girls are young and willing to learn about our land and observe the healing powers of nature and enjoy our gardens. Learning what's working and what isn't and sharing with family before taking the leap into a bigger scale garden.
This year we plan to add some small flower and herb patches, a few more edible shrubs, more weeding and landscape maintaining, and playing in the wild and free.
It's going to be a slow and quiet year, and at least a couple months before we are really getting our hands dirty, but we are excited to slow down and take it all in this year.
We hope that you all slow down and enjoy the year ahead as well, make time for yourself and enjoy a few moments in nature.

As we head into the holiday season please remember that someone's Christmas will look like this tree...a little rough. It's a harder year than most for a lot of people. Leading up to the holidays be humble, enjoy the little moments, give back where you can, and remember it's who's around the tree that matters.
We wish everyone a peaceful holiday season and don't forget to take some time in nature to recharge during the holidays. Build a snowman, walk in the forest, breathe in the crisp air and give yourself a moment of peace, hope and joy.
We will be taking a break to enjoy the little moments - see you all in the new year!
