Forbes Farm

Looking for pennies. Friend is wanting to do a cool project. Will buy them off you.

Well we are at the peak of the 2024 season. We will have a limited supply of watermelons and Italian prune plumes. Also Persian cucumbers and the first of the squash. Looking forward to seeing you all at the markets tomorrow. :)

Our bumper crop of apricots. And that's a wrap.

Well we only have two pups left. We have been so fortunate to have found great homes for all the pups and they are being well loved by their new families. Now these two.

Still have 4 pups looking for a home to protect. They have been on patrol of our property every day with their parents. Best dogs every. We have no predators on the farm anymore. Contact me if you are interested or know someone that may be interested. Thanks

These guys are so fun. Really getting their own personalities now.

The pups are getting ready to head out to their farms and ranches. 3 maybe 4 have homes already. 4 more need homes. Please share if you have friends who have big area and could benefit from the protection of a fantastic LGD - livestock guardian dog. PM me for more info.

Pups are coming up on 7 weeks. They have a new big pen that might last a week. lol

Tomorrow is the first outdoor Kelowna Farmers' and Crafters' Market at our new location at Landmark site. See you there. :)
