Welcome Folks,
To our slice of future farmstead paradise. Located right in the heart of the rolling hills of Northumberland Ontario. We are building our dream and invite you to come along.
A little about The Grove Acres and how it came to be. Just over three year ago my husband Travis and I took a huge leap and sold our wartime bungalow to pursue our dreams of starting and owning a farmstead.
Growing up I (Lauren) was fortune enough to be surrounded by acreage including forests, fields & a little dose of hobby farming. Actually our farmstead use to be apart of my childhood homes original land. I always knew I would set roots in Northumberland I am blessed it was family land. Travis got a taste of the farm life in his younger years with goats, farm dogs & land. We both agreed early on that " a farm with a barn" was a dream.
Our dreams came true after three trying years dealing with townships, environmental & more. In May of 2023 we finally officially purchased the land.
Just one little snag, our dream property was a working gravel pit in the 1930-1970. Which means instead of soil and plants we ended up with sand and stone.
We invite you to follow along while we turn this once bustling small town gravel pit into a scenic lush Gove.
