    Blackberry Keep is a small hobby farm situated in the fertile Upper Fraser Valley, over-looking the Fraser River. 

    I am interested in heritage breeds, heirloom vegetables and permaculture, and farm using sustainable methods.  No chemicals or pesticides are used on the farm.  The breeding goals for all the livestock are to help preserve heritage breeds, with a combination of holistic and traditional farming practices.  My personal goals are to produce as much of the food for my own consumption as possible.  My animals are fed organically, but I do vaccinate the sheep and goats.  Antibiotics are used only when absolutely necessary.

2015 Expectations

12/20/2014

 
2014 was a very productive year for the farm and 2015 is looking to be even busier,  The ducks are doing great and will begin laying again in early January.  Kevin (buck) and Naples (ram) have been productive little studs and the ewes and does are all expecting. 
Nigerian Dwarf Goat kids are due in late February and again in March.  Shetland Sheep ewes will begin lambing in March through late April.  I have attempted to spread out the birthing activities this year to avoid one big onslaught.  The bonus is there will be babies around for a long time.
With the number of inquiries I have been receiving, it appears that many are excited about 2015 farming activities.  The interest in heritage breeds is so good to see.
Several fleeces are currently at the processor.  Pictures and descriptions will be added to the fleece sales page as soon as they are back for the interested spinners.
If there is something in particular you are wanting in 2015 please contact me.  The Ancona Hatching egg wait list has already begun.
Thank you for a great 2014 and wishing you a wonderful 2015!
