What is the difference between a farm and a ranch?

Generally, a 'farm' is primarily used for cultivating crops (like berries or vineyards), while a 'ranch' is primarily used for grazing livestock like cattle or horses. Many properties in BC offer a mix of both.

What is the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) and how does it affect these properties?

The ALR is a provincial zone where agriculture is the priority use and non-agricultural development is restricted. Most large farms and ranches in BC are within the ALR, which has specific rules for land use.

Are there special financing considerations for buying a farm or ranch?

Yes, financing for agricultural properties is specialized and often requires different lenders, such as Farm Credit Canada (FCC), and may require a detailed business plan.
