Welcome To Our Roost
We’re Happy To Have You
Established in 2022, Westholme is a fledgling farmstead (homestead/micro farm) with big dreams. While I (Krystal) am the heart and driving force behind the farmstead, my husband Gary is happy to help when I need a little extra muscle to get the job done and my son Zack loves to help harvest the gardens and feed the chickens. Our beagle, Renji, wears multiple hats and acts as both the farmstand welcoming committee (by barking his hello to everyone who stops) as well as our chicken bodyguard. He takes both jobs VERY seriously. You will find us on the South Mountain of Kings County, Nova Scotia in McGee Lake.
I am passionate about growing our produce organically and using natural methods of pest control. We are not certified organic but all of our produce is grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Our chickens are pets with benefits (eggs!) and are raised on pasture where they have free access to bugs, grass and sunshine so they can produce the healthiest eggs possible. We currently have eleven coops filled with varying amounts of hens, five roosters, and two geese.
The EGG stand
Fresh, Organically Grown Vegetables + Pastured Eggs
The egg stand will, unfortunately, not be re-opening this season. Our customer list has grown so much that there simply are not enough eggs to supply the stand and still fill orders right now. Regular customers can still call or text their egg order for pickup in our driveway any day of the week or in New Minas on Saturday mornings.
We are located at 2764 North River Road in McGee Lake, Kings County, NS.
