B.C. Farmers Head East for Hope | Vancouver News
Description
A Vancouver Island farming couple is packing up their ‘Back To Nature Acres’ operation and relocating east to Nova Scotia, driven by skyrocketing land costs in B.C. — where a single-bedroom condo can buy them a 50-acre farm elsewhere. Facing mounting economic pressure, they’re part of a growing trend of young farmers fleeing high-cost regions in search of affordable land, freedom, and sustainability. Their move underscores a deeper crisis: as small farms vanish, B.C. risks becoming more dependent on imported food. For the Knuffs, this bold leap isn’t just relocation — it’s a bet on the future of farming and family.
