About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Champion of healthy livestock, inspired youth, and resilient rural communities.

ABOUT ME

I'm a small, green-eyed, Canadian girl with a penchant for good food, agricultural landscapes, and beautiful things at which to point my camera. I have an affinity for fluffy creatures, tall trees, and dark skies. Together with my tall, dark, fluffy... partner, I own a mixed livestock farm in transition to Certified Organic production in Western New Brunswick. I'm busy; my floors are dusty and the lawn needs cutting, but the barns are full and the days are short and its more fun to cook and eat and share stories than do the laundry.

PHILOSOPHY

Say you can or say you can't, either way you're right.
