Emma Fuerbringer’s journey to ranch life in Canada wasn’t a straight line. Originally from the UK, she trained in law and fully expected to remain in England. But a twist of fate during her travels brought her to Western Canada, where she met her husband Peter. What started as a brief North American adventure turned into a 26-year love story with Alberta’s sweeping landscapes and tight-knit communities as the backdrop.Although Bluerock Ranch has only been in operation for two and a half years, the

When our very own Georgia suggested that we should interview Jessy Palmer, we took a look at her instagram page and thought that hers is a story that many of you would find inspiring.Raised on her family farm, it’s clear that Jessy has a strong sense of her family roots, but from a very young age, her interest lay in raising animals rather than following the existing family farm model.Apart from a herd of cows that her Grandmother had many years ago, raising livestock wasn’t part of the existing

One of the lovely things about being in our younger years is that we are not yet burdened with experience. Experience is a wonderful thing, but sometimes it can fill us full of warnings about things we’re considering doing.But without that filter, we absolutely believe that anything is possible, so when 21 year old Maddie Beaumont and her relatively new partner, Ben Porter, were presented with the opportunity to take on the lease of a local pub, they were instantly interested.They’d both worked in

Spotting a gap in the market is always a good place for a business idea to germinate and for Hannah King, attending the Game Fair in 2018, revealed one of those elusive white spaces.As she wandered around, she gradually realised that, despite there being many clothing stands, there wasn’t actually much on offer that was specifically made for women living a country lifestyle. Most of the offerings available were an altered version of a men’s item of clothing.Hannah set out then and there to design a

How are we already on Podcast 10?!I’m very conscious that I’ve spent the last 9 episodes of the podcast and many more written interviews before that interviewing people and asking them to share their experience with you all.But some of you probably don’t know much about who I am and what makes me tick and how I got to where I am now. So it only seems fair that I put my hat into the ring as well, and my book coach, Lisa Bean, was the person who kept saying, ‘you need to be interviewed too Emma” and

I’m going to head this up with a trigger warning as this episode talks about death and grief. We also have some resources listed at the bottom of the article should you need them.Shock, horror, grief, disbelief, realisation - there are so many adjectives for all the emotions that hit you following the loss of a loved one, and there’s no guidebook for your own journey through the void. There are no words that can salve the wound and only time, and lots of it, can bring a little respite to your
