From a butcher shop to a wedding venue, Sunshine Ranch in Horsefly diversifies

Silvia and Franz Laffer , with their family Selina, Everly and Kyle Staples and Aletta, Minette, Florian and Sebastian Laffer . The Laffer’s own Sunshine Ranch in Horsefly, B.C. Their children and grandchildren live nearby. Sunshine Ranch hosts weddings during the summer season, which Silvia Franz does all the catering for.

“Our oldest daughter wanted to get married at home. At first, we were a little bit shocked, like what? So then, we cleaned out the barn, and after that wedding, we had friends of hers calling us,” recalled Silvia Laffer, who owns the ranch in Horsefly, B.C., with her husband, Franz.“You know what, the barn is empty in the summer. Why don’t we do something like this? And I love it,” said Silvia.

When asked how Silvia manages to do this all herself, she replied: “I start on Thursday, and I’m done by Saturday night.” During the 2017 wildfires that overwhelmed the Cariboo region, Silvia had a neighbour stop in, notifying her that there wasn’t any bread in the stores and they didn’t know when a delivery truck would come in.

“I had the business going and because my bread was in the freezer, people would walk into the walk-in freezer and then say, ‘Oh, you have bacon. You have burgers.’ So that’s how it started.” Still, Silvia is mindful of finding downtime, noting she won’t pick up the phone before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m.
