About Windhorse

Windhorse Farm, now owned and operated by Jim and Margaret Drescher, builds on the rich 150-year history of the Wentzell family’s stewardship of this forest and farm in the LaHave River Watershed at Wentzell Lake in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. Founded in 1840, this is the longest-standing demonstration of sustainable forestry in Canada.


Today Windhorse Farm is the home of three for-profit businesses demonstrating the economic practicality of ecologically protective stewardship practices. Windhorse Education Foundation, a charitable society, is responsible for education and training programs in earth stewardship. It is as an “earth stewardship training centre” that Windhorse Farm is best known. More than a thousand young people from at least ten countries have lived and learned here over the past 20 years --- as students, interns, apprentices and resident trainees. Many of these people have gone on to do environmentally and socially beneficial earth stewardship work in Canada and other countries.

Job Description

The Director will manage and coordinate the daily activities across a portfolio of businesses at WHF in Nova Scotia. The Director will be responsible for the timeliness and success of all operations, which currently include overseeing earth stewardship training programs and retreats as well as the organic market garden/orchard/nursery, wood products manufacturing business, and a small conference centre. As the primary onsite representative and manager at WHF, he/she will supervise a small staff of employees that contribute to the success of program activities at the farm. The Director will report to the WHF owners, Margaret and Jim Drescher, working with them on strategic planning and future direction of the business.  This is a unique opportunity to help realize the vision of WHF as a sustainability demonstration site and earth stewardship training centre working with a great staff.

Working to promote the multi-faceted gem at the heart of Nova Scotia

Posted in Bloggies on December 04, 2009 by Ange Phillips

Relocation Nova Scotia love to celebrate our successes.

Last year a couple we met at The Sandown Emigrate Show Anthony and Jon contacted us about their plans to relocate here after hearing me speak at one of the seminars about life in Nova Scotia.

They were determined to come to Nova Scotia and experience a different way of life.  Our partnership began and after many telephone conversations and emails they finally arrived at Halifax Airport with the intention of never going back!

We had a contact in the trucking industry and through this Jon secured a job as a long distance truck driver and was able to get a two year work permit. Anthony wanted to find somewhere he could live where he could carry on with his career as an artist. Anthony worked with Mark on the task of finding the right rural location for their home and also a working studio for his artistic abilities.

Mark worked tirelessly to find them just the right property in their price range.  The Old Parsonage in Selma in the historic village of Maitland in Hants county was the final choice, a house with a seperate building to be used as a studio. A far cry from Hedge End!

The Community Identified Stream was now a viable option to them and Ant soon became a familiar figure in Maitland, he became president Of the Maitland District Development Agency and he quickly made friends with residents and other newcomers to the area .

The Old Parsonage has now been renovated and Anthony has put his magic touch on...painting and restoring the house to its former glory. It has already been featured on CTV our local television station and part of the Maitland Christmas Homes Tour.

As with many of our clients we have remained in touch and have also become friends.

This couple have had their doubts sometimes about whether rural living in Nova Scotia was what they expected but they have done a remarkable job of adapting to not only the Nova Scotian culture but the sometimes limited resources and amenities that Maitland has to offer. In return Maitland has shown them that small communities can flourish and support newcomers and that working together to attract more immigrants is necessary for the growth of the whole community.

For most of us living in rural England would conjure up images of fields and horses and affluent land owners, country pubs and land rovers. Well rural Nova Scotia is nothing like that. It is a lifestyle choice that lends itself to independent living and also isolation. Most rural areas here have limited amenities, ordering firewood, clearing snow and planning trips to Truro and Halifax to buy essential supplies are now routine but were once daunting tasks .

Anthony and Jon made a trip back to UK on a holiday this year but it only served to sever their ties there and cement their alliance with Relocation Nova Scotia as Anthony's vision to encourage new growth along the shore and into the 215 highway and Hants county area has resulted in him founding a new group named SHORE

"Shore Heritage and Ongoing Revitalisation Engine"

"To ensure the economic and social revitalisation of the South Cobequid Shore and its gateway communities, through the identification and promotion of its built assets and human resources."

"Working to promote the multi-faceted gem at the heart of Nova Scotia."

Emigrating to a new life gives every immigrant the chance to make a difference to themselves, their family life and also an opportunity to give back to the community they live in, something which is missing in Uk the feeling of belonging and the feeling that we can make a difference. We will continue to support the SHORE group and Anthony and Jon in their vision to keep Maitland on the map.

Airport Bus Link

Posted in Bloggies on December 01, 2009 by Ange Phillips

Report in the Coast talks of the recently announced bus link to the airport. Long overdue as there is no public transport to the airport, probably one of the few cities in the world where that situation exists.
