The Bison, The Lake, The Legacy: A Nova Scotia Farm Story

In this episode, we travel deep into the heart of Nova Scotia’s wilderness to meet Christiane “Kitty” Teerling — the warm, spirited owner of Lindsay Lake Farms, a 2,000‑acre sanctuary where bison graze, forests breathe, and visitors rediscover what it means to slow down and truly connect with nature.Christiane shares the extraordinary story of uprooting her family from Germany, navigating a pandemic‑era move across the world, and transforming a snow‑covered Nova Scotia property into a thriving experiential destination.From the unexpected shift from deer farming to raising a full bison herd, to building accommodations, trails, events, and culinary experiences entirely by hand, Lindsay Lake Farms has become a place shaped by passion, resilience, and a deep respect for the land.We explore how experiential tourism is evolving, why authentic connection matters more than ever, and how Lindsay Lake Farms has become a hidden gem on the Eastern Shore — a place where guests leave with memories that stay for life.Christiane also reflects on community, stewardship, and the pride she feels in calling Nova Scotia home.If you love stories about bold leaps, beautiful landscapes, and the people who make tourism feel personal, this episode is a must‑listen.Click To Visit The Lindsay Lake Farms WebsiteVisit the Tourism Industry Association of Nova Scotia
