It was the perfect Saturday afternoon: chores done and kids were happily entertaining themselves. Despite the cold grey February day, I was cozy indoors, listening to a book and knitting.<\/span><\/p>\n

I looked up to see a real estate listing on Trefor\u2019s iPad. It had been many months since we\u2019d talked about moving from our Ottawa home, but within minutes we were in the car and on our way to west Quebec.<\/span><\/p>\n

We drove through stunning countryside, captivated by the vast, snow-covered Gatineau Hills and striking river valley. We took in the magnificent views and asked ourselves why we hadn\u2019t spent more time in the Pontiac. We spotted the farm and drove back and forth a couple of times before seeing the \u201cFresh Eggs\u201d sign \u2013 that was our opening! We pulled into the farm, took a deep breath, and changed our lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tentatively, we knocked on the front door of a simple wooden bungalow. The door opened and I said, \u201cHi! We\u2019d like to buy some eggs \u2026 and maybe your house.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The man at the door burst out laughing. He told us they were out of eggs and the house wasn\u2019t ready for viewing, but we were welcome to look around the property. We fell in love with it immediately. By Monday evening, they\u2019d accepted our offer on what would become Fermes Leystone Farms: twenty-five acres of paradise at the edge of the Gatineau Hills, with 11,000 grapevines, a dozen chickens, a hay field, a pond, and some woods.<\/span><\/p>\n

To many, our move in 2020 looked like a huge leap. Even our children thought it came out of nowhere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Trefor and me, the decision to move and start farming felt like the best, easiest, and most natural step we\u2019d taken in our 30+ years together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Admittedly, it also prompted a few questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

What the heck do we do with a vineyard?<\/b><\/h1>\n

A lot of people dream of having a vineyard, but that wasn\u2019t us. There was just something about this place that called us home. And so, we decided that we would nurture the land and the plants (including many, many grapevines) that were here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While still in COVID lockdowns in Ottawa, we began meeting virtually with an agronomist to learn about what we had gotten into. Before long, we\u2019d hired a couple of people we didn\u2019t know, to do a job that we didn\u2019t understand (spring pruning), on property that we didn\u2019t yet own!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve since learned from some of the best and poured ourselves into caring for these vines and nurturing this beautiful vineyard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chicken math: what\u2019s that?<\/b><\/h1>\n

We bought a dozen laying hens and a single rooster, that we called Toothless, from the previous owners. The chickens were far more beautiful that we could have imagined and a lot of fun to interact with. It fascinated us too, that among our brown layers was one hen that laid stunning olive green eggs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That got us looking into various breeds and different potential egg colours. And then, well, <\/span>chicken math<\/span><\/a>: \u201cthe curious and incomprehensible process by which a small flock of backyard chickens grows\u201d significantly in a short period of time. On more than one occasion that first summer, Trefor would pop out to run errands and come with a couple (dozen!) new hens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, we have a healthy flock of 17 breeds of laying hens that produce eggs that are brown, blue, green, pink, and some that are so dark they look like chocolate!<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll need sheep, right?<\/b><\/h1>\n

Long ago imaginings included the idea that maybe one day when the kids were grown and flown, we\u2019d get a bit of land and some sheep. As a long-time knitter and proponent of natural, sustainable fibres, the idea of having my own flock was compelling. So now, with a bit of land (and kids still very much at home), sheep seemed the logical next step.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In preparation for our move, we\u2019d also learned that some Canadian vineyards graze Southdown Babydoll sheep (also known as Olde English Southdowns), a diminutive, polled breed that looks like a lovely mix of an Ewok and a teddy bear and produces a fleece that has been compared to merino.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"How

The day I became a sheep farmer<\/p><\/div>Reason would suggest that we wait until we were settled before adding more animals. But by July (likely while Trefor was out getting more chickens!) I had found a small flock. We set about getting things ready, and just a couple of months later, Leia, Rey, Soka, Rose, and Dune\u2014our Star Wars sheep\u2014arrived. I was beyond excited. It was only as the truck pulled up that I realized I\u2019d never interacted with a sheep. What a ride!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully, I\u2019ve loved raising sheep from the very beginning. Their sweet faces, quirky personalities, and their luscious fibre make me happy. Our flock has now grown to 20 sheep, three alpacas, and their guardian llama, Loretta.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming home to Leystone has been a wonderful adventure. We\u2019re regularly awed by the beauty of the landscape and the sky. We\u2019re routinely knocked down by an unanticipated turn of events. And every day we\u2019re grateful to be here with one another, with our family, and \u201call our relations\u201d on this land.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A version of this essay, with more details on our sheep and wool beginnings, was published in <\/span>Digits & Threads<\/span><\/a> in January 2022.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
