We did a short but steep hike up Mt. Erskine for some stunning views!
The special thing about this hike is finding all the fairy doors that were created by locals.
Moss covered everything on the hike and we really did feel like we were walking among fairies

There are so many artists living on Salt Spring. You can visit up to 20 artists on a studio tour all over the island. We wish we would have seen more.

Sunset Farms

Our first stop was at Sunset Farms. They have 150 sheep, 2 goats, 2 mini horses, chickens and a turkey. We were able to visit with the animals and do some shopping.

Lavender and Black

Next we checked out a lavender farm
After doing some shopping and exploring all the different kids of lavender we enjoyed the view!

Salt Spring Island Goat Cheese

Another favorite stop on the studio tour was at Salt Spring Island Goat Cheese. Everything there was delicious and again the surroundings were beautiful!

Sacred Mountain Lavender Farm

We also visited the other lavender farm on the island

Honor System Farmstands

All over the island there are farm stands that are on the honor system. You just leave your payment in a jar and take your goodies.
This one was one of the fancier ones where they had coffee, drinks and snacks. You could enjoy your goodies overlooking the water.

Farmers Market

Salt Spring is known for their Saturday market which we unfortunately missed. But we did hit the smaller Tuesday afternoon version.

We found the perfect resort to stay at that was on a little lake.

We stayed in the townhouse to the right

Our view. We could hear the sheep from the farm across the lake.

The dock which we enjoyed sitting at every evening

Wonderful sunsets every night

We canoed around the lake
