A big thank you to the amazing students from West Hants Education Centre for lending their hands (and hearts!) today at Sustainable Hill!

After soaking up some well-deserved lamb cuddles and watching our chickens strut their stuff, these experiential learners got right to work building a portable sheep shelter. We just need to throw on the tarp, and it’s ready to go—perfect for moving with our flock during rotational grazing.

Have a group that would love to get involved with farm life, animal care, or sustainability? We love hosting community visits and volunteers—reach out anytime!

Thanks again for your energy, kindness, and curiosity. You’re welcome back anytime!

Wow, what a weekend at Sustainable Hill!
We’ve welcomed two beautiful singleton lambs, and we’re now closely watching our final two ewes who are still due to give birth.

First up was Daisy. We suspected labour when we noticed her swollen pink v***a and far-off stares—but she was still eating and drinking, so it was hard to tell if it had truly begun. She didn’t seem uncomfortable, just… contemplative.

Gavin was determined to stay up for the birth, so we cozied up with Hook on the laptop out in our garage-turned-barn. Partway through the opening scenes, I glanced over—and there was Daisy, on her side, pushing out a hoof!

It didn’t take long. Around 10:30 PM, she delivered a healthy ewe lamb. Since Daisy rejected one of her twins last year, we’ve been very hands-off this time, giving her space to bond. It worked—she’s doing great, and so is her little one, Hazel (named by Gavin, of course).

After a late night of making sure Hazel was nursing and all was well, we slept in—only to be woken by Everly exclaiming that another ewe was in labour!

At 8:30 the next morning, Daisy’s twin sister Poppy gave birth to a ram lamb. Everly named him Liquorice!

He was a bit stuck, but she got him out—and after a few moments of looking dazed, he found his feet and began to nurse.

We did have one scare—Daisy accidentally stepped on him, and he’s nursing a sore leg. But it’s already looking better this morning, so we’re hopeful for a full recovery!

The kids are absolutely thrilled (and so are we, of course).

👉 Come visit us this Thursday for Sunset Yoga and meet the lambs after class!

Register through the link in our bio—we’d love to share the joy with you!

We’re sad to cancel Sunset Yoga again this week due to snow, rain, and chilly temperatures in the forecast. ❄️☔️ But we’re staying optimistic that Thursday, April 10th will bring another beautiful sunset like last night!

Join us next week—register now using the Google form in our bio.

If you were signed up for tonight’s class, please check your email for updates.

On the bright side, we’re almost certain to have new lambs by next week and would love to introduce them to our students after class! Don’t miss this special experience—sign up today!

It’s going to be hard to sleep this week as we keep a close eye on the ewes for signs of labor! 👏🐑

It’s wild to think that just a year ago, we were lambing for the first time. I remember feeling so much more stressed and anxious than I do now! This year, we’re more prepared—the sheep have cleaner, drier accommodations and have been feasting on high-quality hay all winter.

The garage-turned-barn has great lighting, electricity, and everything we need for any late-night interventions. But with the sheep in such great shape, we’re hoping for an easy, uneventful lambing. Now, it’s just the excitement of wondering—twins? Triplets? What will they look like?

Stay tuned for invitations to meet the lambs at Sustainable Hill—or, if you want a front-row seat, book our tiny home and enjoy a free farm tour!

Spring on the farm is full of new life, and we can’t wait to share it with you. 😍🐓🐑💗

We had such an amazing cuddle session with the sheep tonight… 🐑💗

The photos in order are Daisy, Snowdrop, Poppy and Scilla.

Last year all four of them birthed twins! 👯

We have no idea what to expect for this year… singletons… twins… triplets?!?!

All we know is these ladies are large and in charge. They love to be stroked and comforted in their ever growing bodies!

The lambs will be born some time in April. 🥰

What other questions do you have for us as we enter our second lambing season?

03/17/2025

Other grade two’s learn addition and subtraction in the classroom… little E learns it in the coop!

Our daughter loves collecting the eggs and had a lot to add up yesterday…

What’s 10 in the coop, 7 in the shelter, 1 in the sheep barn, 2 from the cat’s bed, and 4 undeveloped eggs from new layers…

That’s our most ever for one day!

Comment below… have you had farm fresh eggs? Did you know they come in so many colours? How many eggs did little E have to add up? 😉

03/17/2025

Hey everybody!! We are going to be teaching Downward Dog on this deck on Thursday! 🐶🙏

Yes that’s right! It is forecast to be 10 degrees and partly sunny on Thursday and we are leading an all levels outdoor yoga class at sunset. 🌅

Head on over to the link in bio to reserve your spot! The class is a $10 drop in paid by cash or e transfer.

🐶💗 Indi pup hopes to see you there (and so do we!)

No experience is necessary for this all levels class. This is a family friendly event and while the yoga is geared to adults, kids are welcome to come play or practice as well! 👏

03/16/2025

Well that was fun! 😅

Tonight we moved our ram and his buddy out of the winter shelter back into the forest!

It’s important as we get ready to welcome lambs that the boys be separated from the girls.

We got them all setup with shelter, straw bedding, hay bag, water and tons of space!! Well they did not appreciate it at all!

In fact as I’m getting ready for bed I hear baa’s that are way too close… the boys broke out and were circling the garage where the ladies are housed.

I opened the door and they bee lined back inside to be with their ladies 😂

Now what?? 😆

Oh the antics of keeping sheep!! 💗🐑

03/13/2025

Our obsession with our sheep just increased tenfold! We put our hands to their bellies and felt lambs kicking today! 💗🐑

This will be our second lambing season. Now it’s not a matter of whether they are pregnant… it’s a matter of how many babies and when?!

We have 4 ewes and the earliest due date is April 4th!

Stay tuned!!

03/08/2025

The ice was absolutely breathtaking today! 🤩🧊

After weeks of deep winter cold, the river froze solid, leaving us wondering what spring would bring.

Now, as the thaw begins, we’re in awe of how quickly she transforms—one moment serene and glistening, the next, powerful and unpredictable.

Nature’s beauty and fury are on full display, and we’d love to share it with you!

👉 Send us a DM if you’d like to come for a walk and experience it for yourself.

03/07/2025

As the ice and snow continues to melt and the temperatures are on the rise, we’re curious to know - what’s your favourite way to enjoy the river?

Paddle board? Kayak? Or a good old fashioned swim?
Let us know in the comments ⤵️

03/05/2025

In just 15 days, the first day of spring will be here! The season of growth, renewal and fresh beginnings - and we can’t wait to welcome it!

The Sap is Running! 🍁👏 When we first moved to Nova Scotia, our dear friends taught us how to tap our maple trees. Now, three winters in, it has become one of our favorite seasonal traditions! The sound of the drip, drip, drip is perhaps our favourite sound of the season. 🥰 Did you know that maple sap is about 98% water and only 2% sugar when it first flows from the tree? It takes around 40 liters of sap to produce just one liter of maple syrup! Have you ever drank sap water fresh from the tree? It is like nature’s own Gatorade! Next weekend, we’re celebrating this sweet tradition with our annual “A Taste of Maple”—a culinary feast and foraging walk. 👉 We have space for just two more guests! DM us to grab a spot and experience the magic of maple with us! 🍁✨ #MapleSyrupSeason #SapIsFlowing #MapleMagic #SugarMaples #SustainableHill #WestHants #ScotchVillage
