ABOUT US
Touchstone Farm has been a dream of mine for decades. Having grown up in the city it seemed unattainable until I met my husband. He grew up on a farm, he loves farming, but his was more of the bovine variety...less of the companion variety. Nevertheless, he has graciously encouraged and supported this crazy venture for our family. Our daughter enjoys the variety of animals and the uniqueness each one brings to our lives. It's not every kid that gets to bottle feed a baby goat or hand-raise hedgehogs with an eyedropper.
We've been in business since 2016. Each year we evolve and grow, but our foundation stays the same. Family. Community. Kindness.
​
Touchstone Farm is home to a variety of animals. We have full-sized horses, ponies and several miniature horses. Most of these ladies are rescues or were at risk before coming home with us, we've promised them a soft landing and safe home for the rest of their days. We also have pygmy goats, miniature sheep, a mini pig, a variety of ducks, chickens, rabbits, cats, hedgehogs and our dogs. It's a full house!
We've recently relocated to Sheffield Mills, Nova Scotia. With the help of some amazing transporters, we packed up all 22 horses, 12 sheep, 8 goats, some ducks, some chickens, the cats and Olivia the pig for the drive out. With their experience and dedication, everyone has arrived safely and settled in. They're loving the new farm, but we've got a few adjustments and projects in store to make it perfect for everyone.
The farm is lovely. We have a big cozy barn for the horses, a smaller barn for the little critters, and an indoor arena for the colder months. It's a dream come true and we can't wait to share it!
