The couple,  married for many years, have always  farmed together and grown their own food. Virginia has always lived on a farm, while her husband took up farming after coming to Canada from Norway. They moved to the Lower Mainland from Vancouver Island, where they had a mixed farm with a large greenhouse which grew produce for BC Hot House. They have always raised animals for their own food, but not commercially. They recognized consumers were longing for "old fashioned" food, and decided to follow the trends so popular in Europe and other parts of the world.
