Microgreens ready to go today, 4 arugula, 1 radish, 2 broccoli. More available in a few days. $10 each or 3 for $25 + tax. Pick up in FSJ. These greens are still alive and growing until you cut them, not like the store bought ones that get cut and shipped here from the island!
If you're coming to pick up greens, please bring your dogs so I can say hi!!!

Organic Microgreens grown in Fort St John BC

03/27/2023

Well... After some catastrophes and kill-offs and a lot of learning, I have 3 varieties of micro greens that are available for pre-order on a regular basis.
Radish. Arugula. Broccoli.
They are started when you order and take 5-8 days to be ready depending which kind you want. Radish are fastest, then arugula, then broccoli.
Packs will be approx 100 grams of greens,(plus some water) and they ARE still alive and growing on their organic h**p fiber mats.
No pesticides, no fertilizers, no preservatives.
Packs are $10 each or 3 for $25. (+GST)
Pic of Radish greens for our own meal today, you don't use very much, maybe a golf ball size pile between 2 of us.
Pick up in FSJ.

Well hello again everyone, yep we are still here.... Looks like we will be here a few more years until the housing market turns around. Lots of you have asked in private so I'll answer in person; as much as I wish I could go back to it, I will not be returning to grooming.
The heart says yes but the body says no.
I did go back to working for a local oilfield company, and have been enjoying doing some new stuff like pilot, hotshot, and getting certified for Traffic Control..... But the best new thing I've taken on is learning to grow microgreens. 40x the nutrition in 40x less mass lol why eat a massive salad when you can accent your food with the small but mighty greens. It's a huge learning curve but the results are pretty amazing. I'm definitely thinking of making it an actual business if there's enough demand for it so let me ask you all...
Have you heard of it and if so would you be willing to buy local?
If you haven't heard of it would you be interested in knowing more?
I welcome any and all feedback!!
Also... I miss everyone and their dogs so very much and I hope you're all doing well! Not a day goes by that I don't miss working with your sweet dogs!

Not me crying in Wal Mart the other day......
Ran into a client and she informed me her sweet pup has passed on, which of course brought me to tears but also has reminded me of something.....
A long time ago, near the start of my career, a client didn't show up and when she was contacted, she informed us her dog had passed in the night. I, of course, broke down a bit, and the receptionist seemed puzzled.
"You barely knew that dog, she'd only been here like 5 times!"
I didn't have the words to explain the answer then, but I do now.
The bond between groomer and dog is unlike any other. You bring your dog to a strange person, in a strange place, and expect them to do strange things with strange tools and have everyone come out the other side happy and healthy. The groomer and dog have to immediately possess and display a level of trust that it would take other strangers weeks, if not months to achieve. I don't provide your dog daily food, shelter, companionship, entertainment or protection. Your dog has no reason to trust me and I have no reason to trust them except that we must. And that, creates the unique bond that is so completely different than any other. So yes, maybe I only spent a fraction of a percentage of their time on Earth with them, but in that time we moved mountains together.
If I'm brought to tears over the news of their passing, it's because your dog made their time with me the best it could be and the piece of my heart that was willingly given in the name of trust has gone with them.
I wouldn't have had it any other way ❤️

Good afternoon everyone! We took the leap and went for a bigger RV, so we are selling the one we have now, you've all seen it parked in the backyard or had to squeeze past it in the driveway lol . Please feel free to share with anyone you know that's looking for a practically brand new toy-hauler trailer.
