The water
Water on the farm
Licensed water from spring-fed Leonard Brook, a pond with a water feature beside it.
The water
Licensed water from Leonard Brook, fed by the spring at the head of Leonard Brook, just off the property. The water runs two separate routes: to the irrigation pump house, which supplies water to the garden area, and to a separate domestic pump house that feeds the house, the shop, the barn and the outbuildings. The irrigation overflow runs out into the middle of the pond, and the overflow from the domestic pump house runs into the water feature (the cast-iron tub) and then into the pond.

Two pump houses & the pond
Leonard Brook water runs two separate routes. The irrigation pump house supplies water to the garden area, and some sprinklers and hoses are included. A separate domestic pump house feeds the house, the shop, the barn and the outbuildings. The irrigation overflow runs out into the middle of the pond, and the overflow from the domestic pump house runs into the water feature (the cast-iron tub) and then into the pond.

The pond in summer
The frontage
The Fraser, season by season
The farm has frontage on the western bank of the Fraser. The river rises and falls through the year, and the shoreline changes with it.
Low water
Late summer: as the water drops, a broad gravel bar of rounded river stones opens along the shore.
Irrigation
Irrigating the fields
The farm irrigates with its licensed Leonard Brook water (20 acre-feet a year, April 1 to September 30): the irrigation pump house supplies water to the garden area, and some sprinklers and hoses are included.
The river
Along the Fraser
The farm sits beside the Fraser River. As the water drops through late summer, a broad gravel bar of rounded river stones opens along the shore, with big views up and down the valley.
