Thom Drew walks with his dog Eilean early in the morning on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 near the Mosher Island lighthouse and the now-dilapidated government home where he and his wife Anne lived off of Nova Scotia's south shore.
The Drews, who had already bought land near the lighthouse before it was automated, vacated their government-owned home and moved into their goat barn. They turned a meadow thick with wild roses into a productive little farm, hemmed by apple trees and a garden that bursts with vegetables and herbs.
