MADE WITH NATURE
Instead of living under a cloud of smog or city lights, we now live under a sky of stars. Our son plays in fields of grass instead of a cement backyard. We are trying to slow down and inspire people who follow us to do the same.
We are going to showcase our animals, recipes, DIY projects as well as gardening tips.
By showing how much we have learned over the last two years about sustainable living and reducing our carbon footprint, and eating by God’s design instead of out of boxes.
As 416 Farms grows, we will be adding more animals, bee and butterfly friendly flowers, and organic products such as soap, candles, wool and more. When we begin to sell and ship our products, all packaging will be recycled paper and cardboard. Absolutely no plastics.
416 Farms is just beginning our journey into an eco-friendly lifestyle and we invite you to join us by following us here, on the blog, on social media and by signing up for our Newsletter.
We hope you enjoy your visit.
OUR ANIMALS
Sheep
We have three different breeds on our farm – Rideau Arcott, Suffolk and Texel.
