Sweet Summer Farm
Sweet Summer Farm is nestled in the fertile bottom of the Coldstream Valley. We have a market garden, alfalfa/grass mix pasture and a variety of fruit trees. It is ideally located, minutes from our market, Kalamalka Park mountain bike trails and from schools. Currently we sell garlic and free range eggs commercially and grow delicious vegetables for our family.
Our Farming Philosophy
We follow sustainable principles and every activity on the farm plays an active part in the ecosystem.
Chickens clear new planting areas from the pasture, fertilize the field and manage bug populations
We make our own compost from horse manure and organics from the farm and purchase food and organics based compost
Cover crops contribute to soil biology
Drip irrigation for responsible water use
Flowers and herbs to support beneficial bugs and pollinators
Permanent beds where it makes sense
Limited tilling
Vermicompost and compost tea
Pigs turn new field as needed
