Farm & Learning Tours at the Ranch

Farm & Learning Tours at Pend d’Oreille River Ranch 🌿🐎🍯

Step onto our off-grid regenerative ranch in the mountains of southeast BC, where learning comes alive in the fields, gardens, and by the water’s edge. Our tours are designed for schools, youth groups, homeschool programs, and community organizations — offering hands-on experiences that connect people to the land, animals, and the cycles of nature.

Groups will meet our gentle horses and friendly cows, explore regenerative farming practices, and discover the wonders of herbal plants. You’ll also visit our beautiful lakefront area, complete with a covered shelter and outdoor kitchen — the perfect spot for enjoying a packed lunch in nature.
