Welcome To Our Roost
We’re Happy To Have You
Established in 2022, Westholme is a fledgling farmstead (homestead/micro farm) with big dreams. While I (Krystal) am the heart and driving force behind the farmstead, my husband Gary is happy to help when I need a little extra muscle to get the job done and my son Zack loves to help harvest the gardens and feed the chickens. Our beagle, Renji, wears multiple hats and acts as both the farmstand welcoming committee (by barking his hello to everyone who stops) as well as our chicken bodyguard. He takes both jobs VERY seriously. You will find us on the South Mountain of Kings County, Nova Scotia in McGee Lake.
I am passionate about growing our produce organically and using natural methods of pest control. We are not certified organic but all of our produce is grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Our chickens are pets with benefits (eggs!) and are raised on pasture where they have free access to bugs, grass and sunshine so they can produce the healthiest eggs possible. We currently have nine coops filled with varying amounts of hens and six roosters.
The Farmstand
Fresh, Organically Grown Vegetables + Pastured Eggs
The farmstand is closed for the season but we still have eggs available!
With winter here, having the farmstand beside the road isn’t feasible and we’re going to be switching to taking orders for the winter months. From now until spring, you can call or text me (Krystal) at 902-300-5797 with your egg order and when you’d like to pick them up and then I’ll meet you in the driveway with them when you come. Please make sure you get a reply to confirm your order before you come so that I can make sure I have enough eggs available for you! I’m home most of the time so it shouldn’t be too difficult to coordinate a pickup time.
We are located at 2764 North River Road in McGee Lake, Kings County, NS.
Chicks & Hatching Eggs
aka Fluffballs and Butt Nuggets
Unfortunately, at this time, I don’t expect to offer either chicks or hatching eggs in 2025.
If you are looking for chicks or eggs to hatch, I’d highly recommend you contact my friend Liam at The Naked Acre Homestead on Facebook. He loves his birds as much as I do and his homestead where I am getting the few chicks I will add to our coops this year. He is located in Lawrencetown, Annapolis County and has both bantam and standard sized chickens, ducks, geese, quail and guineas.
