Featured FarmFarm Spotlight: Which Came First
Meet the Van Kessels – the family who have been running Which Came First in Arkona, Ontario since 2011!
I myself enjoy the chickens, their quirky behaviours and the learning phase, watching them learn how to navigate the perching and go up and down on the ladders and terraces. I love watching them have their dust baths. Most of time I don’t care if they use me as a perch. I love being in the barn with the chickens: how it’s loud in the mornings when they finishing laying their eggs and quieter in the afternoon when they are getting ready for bed.
My husband loves the lifestyle it affords us. We can fill up our days how we choose, it allows him to pursue other hobbies such as making maple syrup in the Spring. My husband is a millwright by trade so he’s great at maintaining all of our equipment in the barn.
