Food grown with love on the Saugeen/Bruce Peninsula
Bird’s Nest Garden Farm is our off-grid homestead located a good 20 minutes north of Wiarton.
With our friends and visitors, we exchange experiences of gardening with nature, small-scale farming, permaculture and off-grid living.
Visitors to our place experience a beautiful regenerating landscape while breathing the fresh air of the countryside. The Bruce Trail is nearby for excursions into the forest.
Bees, butterflies and birds are welcome partners in the gardens.
We create and improve habitat for our wild neighbours through the use of pollinator gardens and the planting of native trees and shrubs.
We use no synthetic fertilizer, herbicides or insecticides on the farm.
Our growing methods encourage soil health. We rely on compost, minerals and no-till growing methods to feed our soil biology.
Each summer sees a different group of livestock moving across the pasture to enhance the soil biology and diversity.
