reverent acres

"Our names are Matt and Kim and we're the grateful owners of Reverent Acres. We always loved the great outdoors and our relationship grew while getting to know each other hiking, biking through the valley, and camping with friends.

 

Farming was never in our plan together, but we’ve always liked animals, farms, and working as a team. Within our first year of marriage, we experienced some negative changes to our health. These health obstacles made us pay closer attention to the food we eat and how it affects our bodies. We found the best way to know exactly how healthy the food we eat is, was for us to grow it ourselves!

 

What started as a dream to raise a few water buffalo, became a dream come true in finding a little piece of heaven in Bradner, Abbotsford - just a few properties away from where Kim’s mother grew up! In 2015, we jumped right into hobby farm life, with a small brood of chickens, a couple steers, pigs followed by a flock of American Blackbelly Sheep. We loved farm life so much we decided to go all in with Reverent Acres!​

 

Our personal experience with sustainable and responsibly raised nutrient dense food, makes us enthusiastic advocates sharing our road to healthier living led us to Abbotsford and the surrounding areas.

 

After several years we grew out of our farm, and decided we needed something bigger. After many months of searching in the Fraser Valley, as a surprise to us all - we found a place in Salmon Arm! With two kids, we moved our babies and our animals to Salmon Arm in under a month!

 

We are grateful for the animals that provide not just for us but for people around the world. Our farm is named Reverent Acres as a reminder and acknowledgement of the gifts we have been given."
