When Snail isn't farming or working with kids he's traveling the world on his bike or building his tiny home. Snail is always up for it. Whatever it is... Eat a wasp larvae? Climb a tree? Build a raft? YES.

Twigs is a little bit crazy. Crazy awesome. She is always thinking or doing something cool or creating something or making the world a better place. If you see some people sitting around talking, she won't be one of them - she'll be on top of the nearest mountain or weeding the greenhouse. Yes this is a weird picture of her impersonating a whale or polar bear.

As a teenager Bear was riding his bike past the farm when he noticed a farmer struggling with a heavy log. He jumped off his bike to help. He is still helping 6 years later. Bear is a bundle of fun, he handles a shovel with gusto, and is always ready to lighten the mood or brighten someones day.

Kingfisher has been working at the farm almost since the beginning. She is a jill of all trades and a master of the silk screen. She's equally willing to sing a tune, doctor a goat, or pull carrots.

Any weekday in July and August you can hear the delighted voices of kids calling "farmer Pepper!".  When she's not on the farm, she is studying at MGill university. 

Mizuna loves eating greens right out of the garden - her spirit animal is a Jackalope after all. She is a certified teacher, specializing in outdoor education and was the farm manager at Camp Fircome. Her smile is infectious and her easy going way with kids is wonderful to be around. ​
