Fishing - There's a lot for everyone. Day trips with professional fishermen/lobstermen, trout and salmon fishing (in season). And, of course, you can fish in the ocean anytime without a license.

Beaches - There are dozens of pristine beaches within minutes of the farm. Right here in our village of Pomquet, we have a beautiful, managed beach. It's an official Provincial Beach Park with boardwalk, changing rooms & toilets. This park has a wonderful dune system known as a "building beach", one of the few in Canada. That means, the dunes are getting bigger, rather than being worn down. -- Now, that's a pleasant thought, isn't it?

Hiking - There are wonderful hiking trails nearby, and more being built all the time. A friend of ours, Peter Jackson, is developing a Dream Trail that runs right along the coast.

Golf - Arthur plays every Thursday at the Antigonish Country Club, an 18 hole course open to the public. It's quite challenging, I understand. There's another small course, right on the rim of Antigonish Harbour which will give you a taste of how golf used to be played in Scotland. And on Cape Breton Island, you'll find many very fine courses including the one at Ingonish Beach, rated #2 in all of Canada.

Antigonish town - Ten minutes from the farm is the wonderful Scottish town of Antigonish. The town itself is only about 8,000 people, but it's the County Seat, so has a combined population (town and county) of about 18,000. Antigonish is the home of St. Francis Xavier University, an excellent school. There's a large, modern hospital, a radio station, a sports arena, good shops and restaurants, and a Farmer's Market. New this year is the 19 million dollar Millenium Civic Center with its pools, ice rinks, indoor track, fitness center, dance center, concert halls, and IT center.

We advise all our guests to spend a little time in Antigonish. Go into the shops, and talk to the people. You'll rediscover what a successful small town is all about. It's a terrific place to call home.
