| The farm after Wednesdays storm |
It's been a busy winter so far. Michael has been working at a local dairy milking and I continue to teach. I am the lucky one as my job still allows me to work from home, so I am able to look after the animals that are with us through winter.
After the snow storm on Wednesday we spent yesterday grooming trails with May & Lily's help. It only took a few laps for the girls to clear the pathways to the chickens, ducks and of course their run-in, which would have taken Michael and I a good day to shovel.
Seeds are starting to arrive and the greenhouse preparations are all underway, we will start building low tunnels in the next week and shortly after that seeding will commence.

CSA vegetable boxes are filling up fast and we only have 7 shares left for this season. So don't leave it too long if you are interested in reserving a fresh weekly or bi-weekly basket of veggies.
We are also taking Turkey orders for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We only have a few left for this season as with many other things we are limited to how many we are able to raise being a small farm and not buying into quota. We are looking at raising the Bronze Orlop this year.
As many know Michael sustained a horrible eye injury last summer and as of this week he was given the all clear by the eye doctor.

Thanks Shannon.
ReplyDeleteAfter all the snow drifts and a few days of melt sadly the farm does not look as stunning as it did that day.
The CSA boxes are a great way to support local farms. I think Everdale delivers into Toronto. If you check out our links, we have CSA Ontario listed and you can find out where your nearest CSA farm is.
