Local Farmer Shares Experience of Land Sharing and Sustainable Farming

community · 2022 · Ruby Slipper Ranch

Tracy and Shayne, local farmers at Ruby Slipper Ranch, practice land sharing with other partners while maintaining individual living spaces and farming activities. They raise various animals and grow food with a focus on sustainability and community sharing.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
