Rosebank Farms, Armstrong, BC

Steve comes from an agricultural background, growing up on a small acreage in Langley in the Fraser Valley where his parents ran a brooder operation for Otter District Farmer’s Institute before entering into a specialty nursery partnership. Steve went on to the mushroom industry, running his own farm or managing farms for others.
Andrea grew up as the daughter of two classical musicians but always was in the garden or the woods instead of the studio practising. She went on to complete a B.Sc. in horticulture with a minor in Agricultural Economics. They met in the central hall of a mushroom farm where Steve was production manager and Andrea was taking her high school horticulture students on a tour.
Steve & Andrea moved from the Fraser Valley to the Okanagan and started raising children and pastured poultry at their current location in 1994. Over the years, they have experimented with a variety of crops and livestock enterprises on their 9 acres while providing their three children with a healthy, practical upbringing with space to roam, trees to climb and forts to build.
