Nakusp East Farms

Nakusp East Farms’ owner Carlee Hughes has made it her mission to raise heritage breed animals with the highest quality of life. By raising heritage-breed animals on open pasture and treating them with dignity, she can deliver the most flavourful and nutritious meat one can find – incomparable to any meat products found at the grocery store.
Carlee started running her farm full-time in 2021 but she’s been hobby-farming all of her life, raising chickens, turkeys, pigs, cows, horses and rabbits. She graduated from Fairview College’s agricultural department in 1999 and gained professional experience by working on commercial pig farms in Europe and on BC’s crowded lower mainland. Carlee was appalled at the way these highly intelligent creatures were (mis)treated, and she decided to realise her dream of raising livestock in a natural setting with honour and respect for their lives.
Carlee feels that those who choose to eat meat should know where the food comes from and that the animals are raised with love during their time on Earth.
Her farm offers Lamb, eggs, garlic and a selection of produce.
