"We are members of Grey/Bruce Bed & Breakfast Association. We speak both English and German. Because of Wilfried's farming vocation, we emigrated with our two children from Germany to Canada's wide open spaces in 1969. We moved to Hidden Valley Farm in 1980. Although we began offering farm vacations in the mid-1970s on a previously-owned farm, we started our current B&B / farm vacation business in 1987. Erika also runs a small nursery school in a nearby town two mornings per week during the school year. She enjoys organic gardening, hiking, cross-country skiing, and travelling and is actively involved in several charitable organizations. Erika is a vegetarian cuisine instructor and Certified Lifestyle Consultant and enjoys sharing her knowledge informally with guests who express an interest. Besides taking care of our farm animals and farming organically, Wilfried likes bird-watching and is an avid sports enthusiast. We both look forward to visits from our grown children and our six grandchildren. " |
