Sointula Greens

"Isle of Harmony"

Sointula- Finnish for "Island of Harmony", the experience of leaving the city for that small mountain valley is yours for the asking. From the desert conditions of Lytton you will appreciate the cooling temperature as you ascend into the Botanie Valley. From the dry sage brush and scorched earth you climb into pine forest which gradually transforms into our altitude of beautiful lush fir trees. Beyond Sointula, as the road continues to climb and the valley narrows, the forest changes to spruce, hemlock, and balsam. Until 13 Mile (21 KM) out of town, when you go over the cattleguard and into native reserve land, you will find a panoramic view of alpine meadows and Botanie Lake.

We are situated just 3-1/2 hours north of Vancouver. In the beautiful Fraser Canyon our 70 acre hide-away farm has year round access. From the farm and cabins the southern view down the valley looks out to the Coast Range to the west and the Washington Cascades to the east. Closer to home the eye takes in the lovely treed acres and natural pasture that comprises the 3 acre 'Certified Organic' garden. (Produce available in season).

High above the summer heat and desert conditions of Lytton we are noticeably cooler during the day and comfortably cooler in the evening (probably gathering around the fire pit, so bring a sweater). Each of the other seasons has its own special attractions for you here at Sointula Greens.
