Heya, we're the Langford Family.
I'm Stacey - the voice behind the Fresh Sheet and the daily face of the farm.
My hubby Jeff and our two kids are the heart of our farming endeavours, working hard day in and day out to produce beautiful food for our community.
All four of us work as a team to put dinner on your table. Yep, just us!
At Coghlan Cottage we specialize in heritage-breed pork, grass-fed beef and pastured eggs.
Farmer Stacey teaches courses and workshops in slow, sustainable living; everything from making soap from scratch to growing your first veggie garden. I'm also available for speaking, garden consulting and guest-posting.
In the farm store you'll find a selection of beautiful, useful items for everyday life.
Our focus is on sourcing and producing timeless, durable, eco-friendly goods that are a joy to use.
Coghlan Cottage Farm is a relatively new farm on a very old homestead.
We have been farming here since 2012, but the Henry Coghlan homestead was founded c. 1892 - making it one of the oldest homes in Langley, BC.
We're located just a few minutes east of Fort Langley, just north of the 264th Street exit from Highway 1.
We came to farming in search of an ecologically-sane approach to growing food.
We aren't certified organic and the reasons why aren't as straight forward as you'd think.
Learn about our (slightly rebellious) take on holistic agriculture below.
You'll discover quite quickly we do things a little differently here.
We value loyalty to our Farm Family and that means some old-fashioned ways of doing business.
Rebellious generosity, community activism and cultivating space for tough, important conversations are all part of our shtick.
Join Farmer Stacey in one of our many workshops available both in person at the farm and online.
A Certified Master Gardener since 2008, I specialize in teaching folks to grow their own vegetables using regenerative farming practices.
(Even if you kill all the things. Promise.)
Other courses include soapmaking, backyard chicken keeping and canning and preserving.
Spent this morning laying irrigation and planting about a million dahlias.
With all there is to do with the store build and just general life, planting so many flowers feels like a luxury. But as I prepped the beds before my kids woke for school, in the cool and quiet of dawn, I wondered - is it?
The last few weeks have been a blur of birthing babies of the four legged persuasion and running my two legged babes hither and yon, game to practice, practice to game and game and game again.
In between I've been spec'ing lighting fixtures, trolling antique markets, labouring over the new website, sourcing products and agonizing over paint colours.
I'm exhausted. I am also absolutely exhilarated.
Found myself daydreaming this morning when I was supposed to be working, drinking in the quiet with my coffee.
Instead of writing, I watched two crows dutifully go about their work as they gathered nesting materials in the rain.
I've been reading a lot about creativity lately. I've been struck by how broad the definition has become for me as I've grown older.
