Exploring Ruckle Farm- British Columbia's Oldest Working Farm






Initially we though were were on the 10KM hiking loop around Yeo Point, but soon realized that we were circling back to Ruckle Farm at the parks entrance. No Prob.

Walking around the farmyard was pretty cool. You almost felt as if you were in a movie about some old farm a long time ago. In many ways this place felt like the Anne of Green Gables Farm that we had visited in the summer. Because it is still a working farm a few farm hands were out doing some maintenance. The apple orchard, sheep pasture, and turkey coop on the wood-fenced, green gassed, cleared land of the farm made for an picture perfect sight.

It seemed as though it was meant that we had not taken the trail to Yeo Point because the fluffy clouds ahead had gotten offaly dark. Just as we got back to our car it started to rain.
