Recently we had a visit from the family of a former apprentice. The children enjoyed collecting eggs and seeing the farm. When we went for a walk with the children the boys climbed the old maple stump at the top of the hill overlooking the farmland below and Evan said, “Look at the beautiful nature!”

Ken has been busy digging up the back yard to put a water line over to the bunkhouse. With the heavy clay soil it makes quite a mess and will take some time to settle.  He also dug out the basement drain, that was full of cedar tree roots so our basement no longer floods.

I wanted to let CSA members know that we donated 17 feed bags of squash on your behalf to a London food bank at the end of the season.  We had such a bumper crop that the members didn’t take it all.
