Hi, I’m JT. My wife Heather and I recently purchased a hobby farm on the outskirts of Saanichton, a rural community on the Saanich Peninsula in beautiful Victoria. We gave up the hustle and bustle of city life, big box stores and traffic jams to pursue our dream of living the farm life...the idea of a small acreage and privacy that comes with it was very appealing to us.

As a former pastor, I value the importance of both the local and global community, and Heather and I share a vision of creating an atmosphere that welcomes all visitors. By day, I am a sales and marketing manager for a local custom home builder and in my off-hours I run a local artisan coffee roasting business, 7 Cities Coffee Roasters - and yes, the coffee you'll find in the guest house is freshly roasted. Heather is a part time grade 2 teacher at a local elementary school. When not at work, she enjoys farm life, being a mom and has a passion for creativity. She is always game for a new recipe, crafting idea or art project. In fact some of the art you'll enjoy can be found decorating the walls of our guesthouse.

While we are just getting started, we look forward to continuing to develop our little hobby farm and hope that you enjoy wherever we're at on our journey during your stay. And depending on the season, we'll be happy to share some of the fruits of the land for you to enjoy. While you're here, please don't hesitate to wander up for a chat if you see us out working in the fields...and if you fancy rolling up your sleeves, we have lots of spare gardening gloves and tools!
