Hey All:

Here's a peek at our new additions for next year.  

This should be an interesting and educational step in my farming career.  I suspect entertaining as well.

The photo is from early November, taken right after birth.  


In other news:

Field work is wrapped up for the season - beds forked, amended, and cleaned up for the year (except for some Lettuce, Kale and Arugula for ourselves).  

The Garlic and Sage are wrapped up under straw for the winter.

The fence is shut off and some brush removed from the electric line by the road.

The seed trays and harvest baskets are cleaned and put away, and the well is shut off to keep the pump from freezing.  The field tools are clean and oiled and given some much needed rest. 

The Barn is chinked with straw to keep work surfaces clear of snow, and the wood working tools and lumber are ready for the next set of tasks.

Most of the season's paperwork is complete, and some seeds have already been purchased.  We've scored some interesting varieties already...

All that is left for the 2013 season is packaging the Bulb Onions and Kidney Beans.  These will be delivered in the next week.

We are now looking for a couple of new customers for next year, and have posted our adverts for new interns at Good Work Canada and Farm link.

Talk to you soon, 

Bob
