“It’s coming to life for us because we are both enjoying it,” Tarita Aziz told CBC. “We go to bed tired. We’re asleep in no time. But yet we have a purpose for every day. And every day you come out and say good morning to the animals.”

Tarita’s husband Lenzi left a job as an investment banker to pursue a rural lifestyle.
“I’m an accidental farmer,” he told CBC. “This used to be an experimental farm, it still is, I’m experimenting (and) I’m learning every day.”
The couple is building a new farmhouse, but their current focus is on the animals.
“As a home needs people and their spirits in it, a barn needs animals,” Tarita told CBC. “So in order for us to call it our farm we wanted to renovate it so animals could start living there.”
