Our Story

My family originally moved from Germany to Canada in the late 80's.  I was still a young girl then.  After a bit of travelling around the province of Nova Scotia, we settled in a little forgotten place near the town of Guysborough.  It was the unspoiled nature, it's forests, and beautiful coastlines that captured us.

A year after we arrived here, we purchased an old Farmstead.  It had a large piece of land with an old house on it.  Part of that land is a rugged red cliff which had been nicknamed "Treasure Mountain" by the previous home owners.  They told us a story of Pirates and hidden treasures, of headless dogs engulfed in flames who protected this treasure, and how he lives under a bridge near this red cliff, keeping an eye out for anyone who gets too close.  Needless to say that as kids, my brothers and I scoured this cliff and the surrounding land for any signs of this treasure (and the headless dog), without much success.   

As we grew up, we assumed that this story was just something told to us by the previous homeowners for fun.  But it turns out that it was a legend that locals in this area grew up with...

As an adult I still find myself looking for treasures.  But not the yellow sparkly kind.  I find treasure in our people, in nature, in the small beautiful things that surround us every day...in life.  And that is how "Treasure Mountain Inc." came to be.  We live in a world of Chaos, hardships, disappointments, and difficulties.  But when we focus on finding the treasures that surround us, suddenly, the world is no longer so chaotic.
