Welcome to Urth Farm & Ranch
As the sun rises over the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, morning mist lifts, and the earthy scent of petrichor fills the air, unveiling a hidden gem in the East Kootenays-Urth Farm. Spanning 5 acres in Canal Flats and 500 acres at the base of Mount Sabine, our farm and ranch offer a mountain haven and tranquil escape for family, friends, and guests alike.
​
Nestled between Columbia Lake, the headwaters of the northward-flowing Columbia River, and the southward-moving Kootenay River, Urth Farm is surrounded by breathtaking scenery, timeless pastimes, and farm-to-table culinary delights. Here, guests can step away from the modern-day frenzy and embrace an Urth state of mind-where solace, inspiration, and adventure await.
The Harvest Barn at Urth Ranch
​Where the Kootenay River winds its way through the valley and Mount Sabine stands watch in the distance, the Harvest Barn is a place where stories unfold, where the rhythm of the seasons shapes each gathering, and where simplicity and elegance exist side by side.
​
Built in 2024, this modern, all-white barn was designed to bring people together-to celebrate, to slow down, and to savour life’s most meaningful moments. Whether it’s a summer wedding filled with laughter and candlelight, an autumn festival wrapped in the scent of cider and crisp mountain air, or a gathering of old friends under the glow of string lights, the Harvest Barn is more than a venue-it’s a space where moments turn into memories.
​
The barn itself is a reflection of the land that surrounds it-timeless, open, and welcoming. Its clean lines and airy interior offer a versatile canvas, allowing each event to take on its own character, whether dressed in wildflowers and linens for a farm-to-table dinner or filled with music and dancing on a wedding night that lingers into the early hours. The beauty of this place isn’t just in how it looks-it’s in how it feels, in the way it invites people to gather, to pause, and to soak in the present.
​
For those looking for a setting that blends natural beauty with understated elegance, the Harvest Barn is available for weddings, private events, seasonal gatherings, and workshops. Whatever the occasion, this space was created to hold life’s most treasured moments-the kind you’ll look back on for years to come.

Harvest Barn Festival
Fall 2025 TBD
As the leaves turn golden and the crisp autumn air settles over the Columbia Valley, we invite you to Urth Farm & Ranch’s first-ever Fall Harvest Barn Festival—a celebration of the season’s bounty, the warmth of community, and the beauty of slowing down before winter arrives.
​
Set against the stunning backdrop of Mt. Sabine, this gathering is a chance to embrace the best of fall—a crackling fire, the scent of warm cider in the air, and the rich colours of the season reflected in every harvest offering.
