Golden Ears Farm near Chase, BC, is a profit-share farm run by a group of young farmers in their twenties - much younger than the average age of British Columbia farmers (53.6 years).
The farm is a third generation Cavers family farm, represented by Tristan Cavers in this generation but farming with a group of other young farmers. Together, they are working towards a fully-sustainable farm, with an increasing variety of vegetables, fruit, and animals (sheep, llamas, chickens, ducks, and peacocks). The farm has close connections with recent graduates of the acclaimed Thompson Rivers University Culinary Arts program and truly enjoy the fruits of their combined labours.
Golden Ears Farm is situated in a lovely area on the South Thompson River, west of Chase. |
