As with most small farms we have interests in many things. This site hopefully can highlight some of them that I hope others find useful and or at least humorous. There is a commercial element to this site, but its purpose is mostly for fun.
There is a certain amount of satisfaction from providing natural food and herbs for us and others. Some techniques and produce can hopefully be found here.

Wild Foraging

This is placeholder text. I will have to consult with Karin as wild foraging is more her thing than mine. I drink chaga, turkey tail tea almost daily but many of the other uses I rely on her for the knowledge.
example, turkey tail mushroom, chaga, lion’s mane, and usnea.

Pumpkin/Garden

Pumpkins were grown on a whim mostly as a way to aerate part of the cow pasture. The original idea was to reseed it back to grass the following spring. As it turned out, pumpkins were a successful cash crop as well as feed for the cows. So, the plan now is to add pumpkins to the yearly garlic, maple syrup and vegie garden.

Bright red and orange maple leaves on a tree stump evoke the essence of autumn.

Maple

Golden syrup is my favorite. For some, maple season is akin to hunting season or Christmas season, an almost year-round obsession.
