About Us

PACE Farm was founded by Edward Privorotsky, a former programmer who chose to step away from screen-based work and pursue a more nature-connected way of life. What began as a small vermicomposting project gradually evolved into a permaculture-based farm focused on sustainability, learning, and community.

The early years involved experimentation and growth. Chickens were introduced in 2015, followed by ducks, goats, and sheep in 2017. Rabbits were added in 2018, followed by Muscovy ducks in 2020, alpacas in 2021, and two miniature horses along with a zebu cow in 2022. Most animals live free-range lives, while others are housed in mobile enclosures that offer protection and daily access to fresh grass.

Over time, PACE Farm became a family business, led by Edward and his wife Faina (Faya). Their eldest daughter, Marina, piloted the first Interactive Farm Tours in 2018, which were later fully developed and launched to the public. As of 2018, the farm welcomed visitors interested in outdoor activities for kids. In 2021, their daughter Lina joined the project, contributing her artistic talents and helping manage the farm’s creative and community outreach.

In 2021, PACE Farm introduced its Mobile Farm service, bringing farm animals to daycares, birthday parties, and special events across Montreal. This made it possible for families and organisations to enjoy a farm experience even when they cannot visit the farm itself.
