Regenerative Farm & Family Homestead
• Growing in Service to Life •
About
Forest Gardens is a family homestead, working farm, and space of learning nestled in the Pacific Northwest rainforest of Salt Spring Island. We are learning how to steward the land in our care — growing food, regenerating soil, raising plants and animals, and sharing what we learn as a small family living in balance with this forest ecosystem.
We live and work on the ancestral and unceded territory of the SENĆOŦEN and Hul'qumi'num speaking peoples. Supporting reconciliation and decolonization is woven into our relationship with this land and the relationships we're building here.

Life
In relationship with the land, and those who call it home.
Guided by seasonal rhythms and the tasks that sustain us, we’re creating connections and growing into our place in the web of creation — a small group of people learning to live together in ways that respect the sovereignty, interconnection, and wisdom of all the beings we share this land with.
Ethos
We are learning how to steward that which is entrusted to us, working with nature to regenerate the land in our care, cultivating relationships of trust and reciprocity, and growing in service to life.
