Who likes winter?
Winter is most of the year at the farm. It typically starts to snow at the end of September and the final snow leaves around the end of May or beginning of June. The means (October/November/December/January/February/March/April/May) about eight months of the year we...
Summer funny photos
We have many laughs on the farm. Here are a couple of photos that make us giggle! We asked our nieces to "park" the Jeep. The truck wasn't in the garage at the time so they thought it was a great place to leave their vehicle! Mom is often complaining that we have no...

Root Cellar Update
The root cellar is "almost" done! We started this project over a year ago. It's been fairly complicated to get everything in place and there have been lots of firsts for us. So far the internal temperature has been holding steady at 12C. We have some backup plans...
Yes, it’s been a while!
We know! We have not been keeping up with photos and short blog posts... This is mostly due to the increased orders we have to fill with Fungi Akuafo. We are really excited about the mushroom spawn business and honestly, before covid, we didn't know if we could...
