Will and Terry Kosloski had made a home on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. They had a garden, were active in the outdoors, and involved in the community. But they had a dream. A dream to get closer to the land—to connect, to listen, and to restore and regenerate.

In this episode of The Regenerative Real Estate Podcast, Will recounts the story of selling their belongings and heading out on a road trip in search of a farm. They drove a month to the opposite side of the continent to a little place called Cape Breton in Nova Scotia that is almost to the tip of where the land meets the Atlantic Ocean.

They found a 74-acre parcel for $35,000, which had no infrastructure or buildings—just trees and a stream. They lived out of their travel trailer while they cleared a spot to build a cabin.

They bought highland cows, with pigs soon to follow.

They created a vegetable bed, with a farm stand no long after.

They are now three years into the making of Twisted Roots Farm. For them sharing the gifts of the land and teaching self-reliance that comes from working it is a passion they share with other people. They have a 3-month internships where you can live on the farm, and work and learn alongside of them.

If you are interested in farming, permaculture, homesteading, or living closer to nature, you are going to want to tune into this beautiful episode.
