About Us
For well over 25 years the Walls family has been a fixture of the Salt Spring Island community. The family first took root on the island when David's parents, Harry and Joan, purchased their dream property: 40 acres of painting-perfect farmland nestled in the mountains – a lush, picturesque place called the Cranberry Valley. Their weekend hobby of visiting Salt Spring from Vancouver to work on the farmhouse became their ideal lifestyle when they moved in and began keeping livestock and harvesting a yearly crop of hay, a tradition that continues today.
Fiona and David Walls - Hosts and Owners of Sweetwater Farm
Fiona and David first made the move in 1987, leaving Tsawassen with their two young children, Wesley and Christina. Their third child, Jennifer, was born on Salt Spring in 1990 - a true Salt Springer! (Ask the locals when a Salt Springer is a real Salt Springer!
David's career as a helicopter pilot eventually took them north where they spent time living in various coastal communities, but Saltspring was always home. They returned in 1998 when David's career had him commuting overseas, and in 2005 they purchased the family property, Sweetwater Farm, to carry on its traditions into the next generation. Fiona and David are excited and pleased to be living blended lives as a successful Realtor team and farmers on Salt Spring Island and welcome their clients to come visit their idyllic farm.
