In 1982, Henk Scholten bought 12 acres of raw forest land on Mountain Road south of Duncan BC on Vancouver Island. He and his young family cleared land, built a barn for a small herd of dairy goats and began an orchard. It took two years to build a house that he raised his family in. Over the years the farm has been home to rabbits, sheep and chickens as well as Henk’s grandchildren. A small greenhouse and big garden fed the family.
When Henk met Robin, owner of Botanical Bliss, a local herbal business, he finally found a use for all his comfrey. Robin encouraged Henk to plow his lawn and plant calendula for her herbal products. In 2015, Henk and Robin created a lavender garden with 60 baby plants. The farm now grows eight different herbs for Botanical Bliss.
In the spring of 2017, Hank and Robin attended a Young Agrarians conference and through them found Mark and Alexis, a couple with energy, enthusiasm and growing experience who moved onto the farm with their son Arthur.
