FROM THE CITY TO THE COUNTRY<\/h1>\n
\n

We weren’t always farmers. In fact, we’re only just getting started! But we want to share our experience with you.<\/p>\n

Leystone\u00a0Farms\u00a0was established in 2020 at the foot of the Gatineau Hills.<\/p>\n

Clearly identifiable by the beautiful hillside vineyard,\u00a0Leystone\u00a0is also home to 10 varieties of chickens (rainbow eggs anyone?), a sweet flock of Southdown\u00a0Babydoll\u00a0sheep, Scottish Blackface\/Valais Blacknose sheep, and their guardian llama Loretta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Where to Find Us<\/h1>\n

Leystone Farms is just 30 minutes from the bridges connecting Ottawa to Gatineau. We are nestled between the Gatineau Hills and the Ottawa River.<\/p>\n

It’s a short and beautiful drive into the heart of the country and a wonderful opportunity to explore the beauty of the Pontiac.<\/p>\n

Come for a visit. Meet our miniature sheep, our surely llama Loretta, our alpaca, chickens, and turkeys. Take a walk in the vineyards, listen for the buzzing of our bees and soak in the staggering view.<\/p>\n

We Know Where We Stand<\/h1>\n

As a family, it’s important to us that we acknowledge where we are and the land we live on.<\/p>\n

This place, these lands, have belonged to the\u00a0Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation for as long as anyone can remember. Our hope and our lived intention is to steward these lands in a way that honours the past and shows responsibility for the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With that in mind, and as part of our commitment to the thoughtfulness and guidance of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission<\/a>, we offer the following land acknowledgement that we see as one more step we can take together.<\/p>\n

We are standing on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation who are the traditional guardians of this land.<\/p>\n

We are deeply honoured to be here and share this acknowledgment as a way to remind ourselves and each person who joins us here that our work is not done as we seek to repair the relationships that have been so deeply wounded.<\/p>\n

We cannot welcome you here because this land is not ours. So today we meet you in this place with gratitude, openness, and a desire to work in solidarity with all Indigenous peoples, especially those who call this beautiful land home.<\/p>\n
