Working Horse is more than a winery, more than a farm, and more than a B&B. It’s a place where most of my favourite words merge in delicious harmony: organic, vineyard, boutique, winery, culinary, inn, biodynamic.

The Can-Do Spirit

can-do

Two months after Amy Steeves, 31, moved into her new house near Commercial Drive, she had a beautiful dream. “Our driveway was filled with kids playing, live music, this amazing community,” she recalls. “There were jars everywhere and mountains of tomatoes and long tables in the driveway with colourful tablecloths. Around them were clusters of people stirring pots, canning the tomatoes.”

At the southwest corner of Richmond, on one of the oldest farms on the island, I meet Brian Campbell, Master Beekeeper (I refer to him as the King of Bees).

In southwestern BC we live in a perceived state of plenty. We have the most viable year-round growing conditions in Canada, and our landscape is in a perpetual state of lush green. To the west we hug the coast of the abundant Salish Sea, and are surrounded by mountains covered with innumerable rivers and streams to the east and north. And anyone who has lived through a Vancouver winter knows it can rain constantly for weeks at a time. All that water must make us plentiful in the stuff, right? Well, not exactly.
