Journal de Montreal – Great weekend trip

Dry to Wet

The season has turned from too dry to good and wet! The heirloom tomatoes are growing like crazy and have had their first pruning. A large kale harvest has made way for sweet potatoes. The goats are moving through grass quickly and the 24 piglets, still unnamed have taken on that half tank and half […]

Her […]

We had a weekend packed full of on-farm experiences, providing hands-on (or mouths) activities to engage with and support our farm. This farm aims to create a purposeful blend […]
