Farmers Market a Success

We have attended the Wolfville Farmer's Market two Saturdays in a row, and expect to be there if space is available from now until Christmas.

We have had excellent success so far, this is very encouraging. We have met some very enthusiastic people and everyone is curious about alpacas.

There is a lot of organizing required to prepare for the market along with loading & unloading the truck, set up, break down and loading & unloading all over again. Every time we go we get better at it though.

Swirling wood ash

As part of the Nova Scotia Nutrient Management Plan for our pastures we received a tractor-trailer load of wood ash to be spread.

The ash arrived on a beautiful calm Thursday afternoon, and I called our neighbour with the equipment to let him know that Friday would be a good day to spread the as beecause rain was forcasted for Saturday.

Friday morning arrived with a stiff breeze. The neighbour arrived and the breeze became a strong wind. We spread the ash anyway in a cloud of blowing black soot. By the time we were finished the wind was gale force. It was a good thing that we received more ash than we really needed as a good portion of it blew into the woods across the road.

Each one of us was covered in black ash, and soap and showers were running full force that afternoon.

A new toy

The old manure cart, a steel type trailer has finally given up the ghost. We have replaced it with a heavy duty plastic one that good or bad, carries twice the load. It's easier to load & unload & doesn't leak. That in itself is a good thing.

Thank you

A very big thank you to all who have helped at the farm this past year.

Thank you to all of our customers who support our business. Without your support our farm would not be as successful as it is.
