And here we are at the start (ok, I know, it’s now March) of another year. Another year of uncertainty due to Covid, and further geopolitical conflict with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The IPCC also just released another report about the climate crisis which doesn’t exactly read hopeful. But what is one to do? Curl […]

Happy Earth Day everyone! It was certainly a lovely, warm day here at the farm, one of the few we’ve had so far this spring. Seemed like winter wanted to hang on forever, and then of course, spring flooding from lots of rain, still frozen ground, and rapid snow/ice melt…sigh…this is why I’ll be building

Agnes had twin black boy lambs on February 23! One of them looks like he’ll be turning white soon…the black just seems to be on the tips of his fleece. So far, they seem healthy and happy over at my friend Kristine’s farm where they’re being boarded for the winter due to last season’s hay

After allowing last year’s vegetable subscribers the first chance to resubscribe, I’m opening up to new subscribers! The set up is essentially the same as previous years, with the major change being more pick up locations as opposed to individual home deliveries. This mostly just affects suburban neighbourhoods as they will have to stop at
