Valleyridge Farm
Canada
Приєднався 18 вер 2020
We want to share with our viewers how things work on a farm in Southern Ontario, Canada. We are a diversified farm producing sheep, organic crops and pigs. By todays standards we are a fairly small family farming operation. A lot of people now live far removed from farming and have shown interest in what happens on a farm and want to know how and where our food is produced. We look forward to sharing with you how we do things, and learning from any of you who would like to come alongside us in our farming life.
