Sarah - Living Sky Farms
I’m Sarah — a homesteader, farmer, and flour miller in Saskatchewan. My story really began with my children, who were born with food sensitivities. Searching labels and trying to find what triggered their reactions opened my eyes to just how many additives and hidden extras fill our foods. I knew there had to be a better way, and that’s when my path toward whole, homemade, and homegrown food began.
Our family has since put down roots on an old homestead, where we raise chickens, pigs, beef, and a dairy cow, and grow much of our own food in the garden. Grain farming soon followed — first alongside my brother, and now on our own land, where I’ve chosen to do things differently. We farm regeneratively: no glyphosate, no shortcuts. Instead, we rotate crops, plant cover crops, and explore natural soil-building practices to bring life back to the land.
At the heart of it all is a desire to share food that’s honest and deeply nourishing. Through our on-farm flour mill, I get to celebrate the beauty of whole grains and fresh-milled flour — not just as ingredients, but as a connection to the earth, to tradition, and to the simple joy of good bread shared at the table.
Victoria Bartholomew - Bees
Victoria Bartholomew is a beekeeper, homemaker, and mom. She began beekeeping with her Dad north of Saskatoon before marrying her husband, Tim, and moving to Paynton, where they started with just four colonies of bees. For seven years, they lived on a grain farm, keeping bees as a side venture with hopes of one day building it into a full-time apiary.
That dream began to take shape in early 2024 when they moved to the Redberry Hills. Both Victoria and Tim are passionate about producing raw honey, but even more captivated by observing and learning from the bees themselves—their intricacy, design, and harmony in how they live and work.
Victoria also has a deep interest in holistic health and takes great joy in growing and preparing nutrient-dense food for her family. She mills organic wheat for fresh flour, bakes with sourdough, keeps a steady batch of kombucha brewing, and lives by the philosophy that “food is medicine,” choosing whole foods as sources of nourishment and wellness. An avid hunter since the age of 12, Victoria has also taken deer with a bow. She loves the outdoors and enjoys Creation—whether from the seat of a kayak, the back of a horse, or among her bees, where she happily loses track of time.

Dairy Goat Presentation
Mother and Daughter duo Alicia and Gabrielle Denis: passionate homesteaders, homeschoolers, ranchers and more. Their presentation on dairy goats stems from Gabrielle’s years of ownership and care of the animals, and Alicia’s contribution of research and management. At home, they both enjoy making the kitchen smell good with a variety of baking and cooking, growing and preserving food, nature walks, reading, sewing, soap-making, and spending time with family and friends. They love the Catholic Faith, all things farm, all things natural, and making their little part of creation more beautiful.

“It is not difficult to learn how to make tinctures, infused oils, salves, liniments, infusions and decoctions. Every family’s medicine cabinet should be supplied with real remedies made at home that really are safe and effective, and which actually tend to help your liver instead of harming it. Real medicines made from plants can turn a cold around within hours, bring down inflammation, removesuspicious-looking skin lesions, heal eye infections, treat nausea and diarrhea, relieve frostbite, heal cold sores and burns, cure reflux, heal your gut, normalize blood pressure, and fight infection.@ - Laurice
