THE FARM
The Naturally Good Vibes Farm is located in the beautiful Fraser Valley in Langley. It is a 1/4 of an acre farm, that is leased on a five acre parcel that is also farmed to organic standards. With this structure the farm builds community. Both farms work together on bigger projects and have volunteers that help keep people connected to their food. Kristen is a first generation farmer, and with a focus on conservation has built the farm in a way that is as zero waste as possible. This means everything on the farm is either second hand, made from something that already existed, or is purchased in the most environmentally responsible way. The impact of this is huge, as often with small scale agriculture the concern is not longevity in what you are using as your farm is likely to grow out of what you are currently using. With a zero waste life style you have to think of longevity, efficiency, budget, as well as the life cycle of the product. Zero waste and conservation also extends into our produce boxes. We offer our weekly produce boxes with the produce in reusable containers, cloth bags, and lettuce bags. That means you can get fresh local veggies- single use plastic free! Check out our produce boxes to make grocery shopping easy by getting your veggies delivered to your door weekly- or sign up for our 'just in time' mailing list for when we have extra veggies up for grabs!
THE FARMER
Ever since I can remember, I have had a strong passion for nature and conservation. Throughout my life this has taken me on many adventures from swimming with sharks all over the world, to graduating from farm school in beautiful British Columbia. It was during farm school that I was able to get my hands in a beehive regularly, and really close a lot of the holes that I often found in conservation. To grow food locally using organic practices made me feel so connected to nature. Working with the seasons and using natural methods to control pests encourages me to think differently and outside the box. To support local agriculture and the environment check out our CSA program to get some mixed veggies in a box. To taste food that is ripened on the plant versus during transport is truly an amazing experience.
