Welcome to the farm, cows with curly hair.
Mom and Uncle Duncan, the famous ex cattle rancher and current organic orchardist.
The fuel line failed and got replaced. An adventure in learning.
We are spending some hours in the lab cutting plantlets. We will end up with 150 plants of each of our varieties which we will then plan in the field, harvest, plant again next year, repeat, and then bring to market. We do this for 8 of the varieties we grow; the others are grown for us by other seed growers in Pemberton.
Here is our spring newsletter!
March can be a bit of a messy month on the farm. The hole is filling with water as the water table is just about at the surface just here.

We are all back from various holidays and are now planning for the coming season. Plans are the only things that grow at this time of year, drug and do they ever flourish. Can be a little frustrating as there is lots of snow on the frozen ground and there is plenty of winter to come.
Still lots of spuds in the root house. We are attending the winter markets on alternate Saturdays, and Capers Cambie, Raincity Grill, C, Nu, Peartree and Bishops are getting regular deliveries. Thanks to all those hearty Vancouver shoppers who come out to markets rain or shine. Vancouver market shoppers are quite hard-core. There have been some cold, wet markets days where we have been run off our feet. Thanks so much, everyone.
The Pacific Agricultural Show is this weekend. We are going on Thursday to attend some potato meetings, see the latest new equipment, and make even more plans.
Happy January.
