Our family business, Norberts Good Food & Selwood Green Farm has enjoyed a local following for over 35 years here in the Maritimes. When we're not working our gardens and farmers markets we escape to our other favorite part of Nova Scotia, the Rissers Beach Provincial Park area of the South Shore.
You can contact us directly at www.norbertsgoodfood.ca also!
We're very excited about our new cottage, Beach Rose Nature Retreat, located in gorgeous Green Bay.
We look forward to developing this new property of ours with visions of herb gardens, vegetables, small vineyard...a healing retreat for farmers, artists, writers, families, nature lovers and of course..beach lovers!(-:

Why they chose this property
Located in the heart of Nova Scotia's Ocean Playground.
If you love the beaches and your privacy too it doesn't get better than this. Our 5 acre nature retreat is surrounded by forest and sweetened with the presence of an abundance of wildlife right outside the living room window.
Walk 5-10 minutes to the series of small beaches of Green Bay. Or walk 30 minutes/10 minute bike ride to Sperry's Beach. Sperry's beach is perfect for families with little children. Rissers Beach Provincial Park is only 5 minute drive away. We think it's the most beautiful beach area in all of Nova Scotia!
This property is new to us and we are still putting finishing touches on it. We will continue to update photos as small changes are made.
There will be new beds and linens and we are having custom made cushioned patio furniture added to the large outer deck.
