Big Rock Berry Farm - Spruce Grove

Tim has lived and breathed farming his whole life. He grew up on a farm, worked on and operated his family farm, studied agriculture in university, made a career out of researching everything from potatoes to canola. So it only makes sense that when we moved onto an acreage Tim would find a way to make it into … you guessed it, a farm. All kidding aside Tim is passionate about our berries and loves to talk about our farm and farming in general. If you see him in the patch, take a minute to ask him about what all goes into growing such amazing berries.

Amber is a local girl (she grew up not even a mile from where we live now), who grew up loving life in the country with plenty of room to run around and lots of animals to play with. Amber is the newbie plant farmer at Big Rock Berry Farm, but don’t let that fool you. Her hard work, passion, and ability to learn quickly means that she has been able to master all the skills needed on the farm, and has quickly become a berry master in her own right! Off the farm Amber is no slouch either, she has a Doctorate in Audiology and works as an Educational Audiologist!

P and L are our two oldest boys and this July our twin boys, C and D will turn 5. They’ve grown up a lot since the photos posted above. Hired hands by birth, they enjoy picking and eating our berries. There is nothing our boys love more than being outside. Their specialty is running through the patch! We love that we get to share our journey and our farm with our boys.

Rusty is our timid and mild mannered miniature Shetland Sheep Dog. He loves attention and treats! Mario is our black cat who also loves attention and is often underfoot.  He responds more to “Here, Kitty Kitty” than his own name. We also have a few chickens. New this spring we will be adding a couple of miniature goats to the pen in the dugout to help keep the grass and tree growth down there. The boys are excited to try their hand at training the new goats!
