Forest & Herb Farm by the Beach

Scanterbury, Division No. 13, Manitoba · 80 acres

Hosted by Cohen & Kris A.

Onsite RV/trailer

· 9 guests max · 2 bedrooms · 3 beds · 2 toilets

A stone’s throw from the beaches of southeastern Lake Winnipeg, Cityfolk Farm is home to 80 acres of wide open fields, a medicinal herb farm, and forests of poplar, pine, alder, and willow for you to explore. THINGS TO DO... Say hello to the chickens, enjoy a relaxing walk through our forest labyrinth, tour the medicinal herb farm (@awakenherbs), meet our Great Pyrenees, Willow the gentle giant, swim at a beach (a 15 minutes' drive away), and relax in a hammock. THE CAMPER... To learn more about the Winnebago camper, see the site listing (this is the property listing). WHERE WE ARE... • 15 min south of Gull Lake • 15 min southeast of the Brokenhead Wetland Interpretive Trail • 20 min southeast of Patricia Beach • 25 min south of Grand Beach, which features sands ranked in the top 10 worldwide • 45 min north of Winnipeg WHO WE ARE... Our family of six moved to the country from Winnipeg (hence the name Cityfolk Farm). We learn and work from home, run a re-skilling festival (@takerootfest), and a medicinal herb farm (@awakenherbs). Fostering a connection with nature and cultivating community is at the heart of all we do. WHOSE LAND... The land now stewarded by our family (Cityfolk Farm) is part of Treaty 1 territory and the ancestral land of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Metis Nation. We acknowledge that we are on stolen land, and we continue to learn about both the harm that was done and the beautiful history and traditions of tending land & people of the Indigenous nations who suffered and continue to be negatively impacted by colonialism. We are working to be conscious of and active in reconciliation and welcome relationship and collaboration with Indigenous communities. We encourage all who are connected to the farm, festival, farm stays and other events here to dig into this learning as well, and come to the land in thoughtfulness and gratitude.Vintage off-grid Winnebago camper, nestled in an alcove of pines on a medicinal herb farm. Includes a bathroom, drinking water, and room for 4-6 (see below for details). Surrounded by 80 acres of beautiful prairie fields, medicinal herb gardens, and forests to explore. Steps away from Ember Alley, a communal fire pit and sheltered outdoor kitchen, where guests will find basic cooking equipment and a wood-fired cookstove. Two-minute walk to wifi, electricity, and a mini fridge for guests' use. The camper is equipped with bedding, towels, cloth napkins, board games, and more. The kitchen is stocked with some basic ingredients like spices, tea herbs, oats, oils, and honey — guests will also find dishes and utensils in the cupboards. The stove in the RV is not in use, so guests can enjoy the BBQ just outside the door, or use the wood-fired cookstove at Ember Alley. There is a composting toilet in the camper bathroom, and guests will also have access to the campground composting toilet outhouse and outdoor shower. There is a water dispenser in both the kitchen and bathroom for drinking and hand-washing, and a running water spigot at the composting toilet outhouse. ✰ Beds • Roughly queen size, 78"x48" (main bed) • Roughly twin size, 72"x38" (convertible table) • Roughly twin size, 80"x42" (bunk) ✰ Nearby • 15 min south of Gull Lake • 15 min southeast of the Brokenhead Wetland Interpretive Trail • 20 min southeast of Patricia Beach • 25 min south of Grand Beach (sands ranked top 10 in the world) • 45 min north of Winnipeg ✰ Website • cityfolkfarm.ca/farm-stays ✰ On-Site Herb Garden • awakenherbs.ca • @awakenherbs ✰ Late Summer Festival • takerootfest.ca • @takerootfest • (RV is only available to fest ticket-holders on fest weekend) ✰ Still have a question?
