Who are we?
A little bit about us
Michelle
Michelle is a second generation Chinese Canadian, born in Vancouver with parents having immigrated from Hong Kong.
Despite cultural differences, Michelle has always felt more at home in the countryside and dreamed of living on a farm, surrounded by animals and nature. Starting Hidden River Homestead is a dream come true. Spending time gardening and caring for the farm animals is the perfect balance between working as a paramedic and finding the time to recharge.
When not busy with the homestead, Michelle enjoys dabbling in a variety of arts and crafts, kayaking, and training Brazilian jiu jitsu.
James
Growing up in rural Scotland, James has lived in a number of cities in Canada but the calling to return to small town, and have outdoor space has always been apparent. When the opportunity to move out to a quieter community came along, it was an easy decision.
Whether he is crafting delicious meals in the kitchen or building projects on the homestead, James is always creating.
James is also a paramedic, educator, and entrepreneur.
