Welcome To Our Roost
We’re Happy To Have You
Established in 2022, Westholme is a fledgeling homestead with big dreams and even bigger heart. I’m Krystal—the soul and driving force behind the venture—though my husband, Gary, is always ready to lend a hand (or some extra muscle) when it’s needed. Our son, Zack, is happiest gathering veggies from the garden or tossing feed to the chickens, while our beagle, Renji, proudly serves as both the farmstand’s welcoming committee and our fearless chicken bodyguard. He takes both roles very seriously, barking his enthusiastic hello to every visitor who stops by.
Nestled on the South Mountain of Kings County, Nova Scotia, in the quiet community of McGee Lake, our homestead is rooted in a love for natural, sustainable living. I am passionate about growing produce organically and rely on natural methods of pest control. While we are not formally certified organic, every fruit and vegetable we grow is nurtured without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
Our flock of “pets with benefits” (aka: the chickens) spend their days scratching for bugs, pecking at grass, and soaking up the sunshine—producing the healthiest eggs possible. Our little chicken village is thriving with eleven coops, five roosters, two geese, and—let’s just say—more hens than I care to admit!
The EGG stand
Fresh, Organically Grown Vegetables + Pastured Eggs
Sadly, my little egg stand is closed and won’t be re-opening this season. The flock is working hard and laying lots of eggs, I’ve even added a few more young hens, but my customer list has grown exponentially and there just aren’t enough eggs anymore to keep the stand stocked and fill my regular orders.
If you’re already on my customer list, you can still call or text your egg order to me for pickup from my driveway in McGee Lake (any day of the week), or in New Minas on Saturday mornings.
