Riversong Farms is a small farm located in the middle of one of the largest wilderness areas remaining in Central BC.   Far from the "rat race", here we enjoy what many would call the simple life.   A return to the basics of hard work, fresh air, self-sufficiency, and independence.  The historic log home and B&B cabin overlook the picturesque Nazko River, and are encompassed by our herb, flower and vegetable gardens. 

Riversong Farm is  located in the heart of BC's Cariboo/Chilcotin Region, renowned for the vast wilderness and remote ranches.  We are 100 km west of Quesnel, and are surrounded by hundreds of miles of forest, lakes, and rivers.

We are proud to be a small family farm, using age old practices to produce quality livestock and fibre products in an era where the trend is towards industrialized agriculture.  

Cashmere Goats

The main focus at Riversong Farms is the breeding and raising of Cashmere Goats.  We have been breeding Cashmeres since 1997, and they are the foundation of our farm.  Over the years we have brought in genetic lines originating from the US and Australia, and have developed a herd with some of the top placing Cashmere in North America.  We are completely taken with these amazing animals and the incredible fibre they produce.   Each year we harvest the cashmere from 150 -  200 goats.  We also sell select animals for breeding stock, and some of our stock can be found from Vancouver Island to Prince Edward Island!

Cashmere - Farm Direct

We are thrilled to be able to offer the cashmere we produce here to customers around the world.  Our clip is sent out to the mill every spring, and made into cloud, roving, and yarn - which we can sell directly to our customers at farm-direct pricing.  There is nothing quite like cashmere....but cashmere.  It is so luxurious, so fine, so warm,  so light.....well I could go on forever.  That is why it remains one of the world's most valuable fibres, and the standard to which other fine fibres are compared.  We take the quality of our cashmere very seriously,  and believe that our cold Canadian climate helps us to produce some of the finest quality cashmere available.

Farmstay (B&B)/Cabin

We started our Farmstay to give others the opportunity to explore the incredible wilderness around us, as well to experience that "endangered species" - the small family farm.   Our guests get to stay in the original cabin, next to the main heritage farm-house.  They can enjoy the relaxed friendly atmosphere of the country, since we have only one group of guests at a time.   Of course the full country breakfast is cooked on an antique wood cook-stove, and we use farm fresh and organic ingredients.   We are minutes away from some excellent trout fishing, including the famous Blackwater River.

Black Welsh Mountain Sheep

We started raising these little sheep primarily to keep the grass down around the house.  We were also interested in helping preserve some of the old, traditional farm breeds which are slowly going extinct.  This sheep is considered a rare farm breed by Rare Breeds Canada.  T

Other Residents of Riversong

Since this is a mixed family farm, there are lots of other animals around to enjoy.  Fresh eggs from the chickens, milk from the  milk goat, rabbits, horses, a donkey, cats, and dogs.  Our 3 Akbash livestock protection dogs work around the clock, keeping our goats safe from predators.  And our Llama keeps the sheep safe.
