Islands Heritage Livestock ...
... is the Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands chapter of Rare Breeds Canada, a national charitable organisation dedicated to the conservation and promotion of rare and traditional breeds of farm animals and poultry. We are currently the only chapter in British Columbia, and one of only four regional chapters nationwide. Our members are located all over the "big" island from Black Creek in the north to Cobble Hill in the south, as well as on Saltspring, Thetis and Gabriola Islands.(Read more..)
Each month another host farm will be available for a "Web Tour" with interviews and pictures of the host farms and their animals. |
