British couple finds farming home in Parkland region
Darrell Nesbitt profiles Peter and Christine Harris who moved from Britain to Rossburn area Manitoba to run a dairy operation. The family, with children Philip and Fiona, took over the Alexanders' farm in 1993, milking 60 Ayrshire cows on a 50 acre sector. They adapted to prairie life, expanded facilities, and balanced farm work with hockey, soccer, and ballet as they settled.
