HOPE RIVER FARM
Hope River Farm is managed by Nancy Sanderson who grew up on a mixed farm in rural Saskatchewan. Nancy is assisted on the farm by Ken and Kaley, as well as many helpful neighbours, friends and volunteers who instinctively show up when you need them the most.
Hope River Farm is as much about the land as it is the animals we raise. We make operational decisions with a goal that our farm will be part of the surrounding ecosystem, rather than competing with it.
DELIVERY: Pickup Farm store
BUY: Individual cuts and extras
