Earlier this year we joined an organization called World Wide Opportunities on Farms (WWOOF). For the past week an Austrian couple (Clemens and Eva) have been staying with us and helping us out. They have been great. The two of them have helped with the weeding of the gardens, sorting the fleece from this years shearing, setting up feeders, planting and harvesting of early vegatables plus other odd jobs. We have also had them leading the alpacas and helping out when we gave the heard their quarterly needles.
In the spring time we often get behind on the additional chores as the alpacas keep us busier so their help has been most beneficial. Additionally we have enjoyed great conversations during and after dinner about their travels and life in both Canada and Austria.
On Sunday we took the two of them to the top end of the Annapolis Valley region to the Grand Pre Exhibit, Windsor, Wolfville and also visitied a few wineries. They found the Maple wine unique and the Best wine of the day was the Alchemy from L'acadie vinyards in the Gaspereau Valley. They are currently Nova Scotias only certified organic vinyard. The other two wineries we visited on sunday were Sainte-Famille and Gaspereau
