Maggie and Duncan Keppie first took over the farm property at 2367 Ridge Road in 1974 after returning from three years in Zambia. They had a dream of having a part-time farm and a country property for their two young children to grow up on.
Over the years, they put a lot of work into the property and in 2019 decided that they needed some younger members of the family to take over as it was getting too much for them to handle on their own.
This was the birth of Our Celtic Hearth as an idea for community and healthy living. Beginning with family and becoming a centre for locals as well as people from away.
