Just off the Lougheed Highway on the way east to Mission you will find Rise Over Run Farm in the Thornhill community of Maple Ridge. We are working towards creating a 4-acre biodiverse and ecologically-sound farm which produces nutrient dense food. In the early years (est. 2016) we are focused on revitalizing the land. In order to do this regeneration we have begun to graze animals (chickens every year, pigs in the first year and sheep in the second year). By rotating animals across the land we will develop the landscape (and soil) for a productive future. One that will allow for fruit and vegetables to grow in harmony with the grazing livestock.  The animals do a good job, but no one animal is perfect so we have spent quite a bit of time manually clearing the land (mostly blackberries).
