Descripción

What can a farm teach us about community? In this episode of Watercolour Westport Stories, Matt from Stealing the Bloom shares the story behind his regenerative farm just minutes from Watercolour. The farm is home to sheep, cattle, chickens, peacocks, a miniature donkey, and Marmalade, the podcast’s first animal guest. From farm tours and mobile petting zoos to deeper reflections on stewardship, sustainability, and living close to the land, this conversation explores how farming can become more than production. It can become a way of building relationships with animals, neighbours, food, and place.

The Divine Appointment: Landark Homes' Noah Garcia on Community and Quality Construction | Season 2 Episode 5

Join Noah Garcia, Finishing Coordinator and Handyman at Landark Homes, as he recounts the series of "divine appointments" that prompted him and his family to transition from their Ottawa renovation business to a fresh start in Westport with the Landark team. He discusses the steep learning curve of building Net Zero homes and the specialized training Landark provides, including a trip to Denver to study house envelope construction. Noah reflects on the joy of the Westport community, the non-rushing pace of life, and the confidence in Landark's quality construction that leads to happy homeowners. He also offers advice to potential homeowners on their first steps to discovering Westport. _______________________ Connect with Us!  Learn more about ⁠us on our website: https://watercolourwestport.com/ ⁠Book a tour: https://calendly.com/watercolour-westport Follow us on social media to stay connected:  ⁠Instagram⁠⁠: https://www.instagram.com/watercolourwestport/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WatercolourWestport ⁠⁠YouTube⁠: https://www.youtube.com/@landarkhomes Thanks for listening—and welcome to the story of a community like no other.

The Coast-to-Coast Search for Community: Meet Bob & Michelle | Season 2 Episode 4

New homeowners Bob and Michelle join us to share the incredible journey that led them to Watercolour Westport. After 36 years in Oshawa, this retired educator couple searched coast-to-coast across five provinces for a community that met their must-haves: an energy-efficient builder, sustainability, walkability, and easy access to nature. They discuss how Landark Homes’ vision for a net-zero-ready, connected village finally checked all the boxes, providing a welcoming and healthier place to call home. They also share why they gave up one of their cars and what they look forward to as they integrate into village life. _______________________ Connect with Us!  Learn more about ⁠us on our website: https://watercolourwestport.com/ ⁠Book a tour: https://calendly.com/watercolour-westport Follow us on social media to stay connected:  ⁠Instagram⁠⁠: https://www.instagram.com/watercolourwestport/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WatercolourWestport ⁠⁠YouTube⁠: https://www.youtube.com/@landarkhomes Thanks for listening—and welcome to the story of a community like no other.

The Heart of a Village: Inside the Westport Library | Episode 2.2

What makes a village feel like a village? Meet Pam from the Westport Public Library,  and learn how the library is a quiet but essential part of daily life in the community as well as the upcoming EcoFest in the village. From its early beginnings to the way it continues to evolve today, the library is more than a place for books. It’s where people gather, learn, connect, and find support in ways you might not expect. It’s a conversation about access, belonging, and the spaces that quietly hold a community together.
