TWO SLEEPS until our first Moonlight Madness Night Market, to say we are excited is an understatement 🌲

We have a fun and festive market planned and we cannot wait to see you!

Market is open 4pm until 8:30pm and will be stretching the FULL length of Veterans Way, this is a fully outdoor market so dress for the weather which is looking perfect for a Christmas Night Market, clear, dry, and crisp 🌲 not too worry we will have some warming areas🔥

We will be having a children’s scavenger hunt throughout the market space.

Another season come and gone, good bye dirty fingernails, wonderful people, long hot days and yummy food. Welcome stormy skies, playing in the rain and chasing rainbows. More time to be still like the mountains and sparkle and flow like the rivers, always learning from nature, bringing balance from within and not letting thoughts rule us, learning new skills and being like a tree always growing. Trying to always be the author of our own lives…..and making it a kick ass story worth telling😁 Our last market is this weekend , and we will soon be in hibernation enjoying this beautiful island and being playful with life.
Hope to see you at the this weekend and if not……smile lots, spread joy, avoid negativity and hug your friends and family❤️🤗

These hot days on the farm are more than interesting trying to keep everything alive, not to mention trying to get some physically demanding farm jobs done that can’t wait til Mother Nature changes her mind. So we all just carry on as farmers do…..I want to give a big thanks to our farmily crew for just gettin’ ur done, sweat and shine but no complaints and still smiles at the end of a day!!! And no, we didn’t pick rocks today…..but we did all take a dip in the ocean at lunch😃

We never take for granted all the hard work and crazy farm positions our crew has to get into each day... so thanks to this smiling face on our farm this year we are so fortunate to have Daniels expertise to help us stay farm FIT every week😃

14/05/2021

The beauty of the veggies finally in the ground is never taken for granted by how much our farmily crew does to make it all happen!!😊. Rock picking on hot days, shovelling compost on rainy days and many hours pounding stakes and prepping beds! These veggies were seeded in February and loved and cared for all these months....always amazes me even as a farmer to sit back and really look at what it takes to grow food and how patient and appreciative we need to be for the little time we get to taste their yumminess😊

22/04/2021

So many people asking so we thought we better get to it....the farm store will open this Friday April 23rd 10-5pm, that’s tomorrow!!!😁We will open Mondays and Friday’s 10-5pm until things really start producing and we will be back to 5 days a week shortly....stay tuned!!!😃 Come get your veggie starters and get your garden going, and if your soil needs a boost we will have our all purpose fertilizer. Lots of green yumminess to fill your bellies and don’t forget the delicious eggs😋 Oh ya....we’ve got 6 spots left for our box program if anyone is interested check out our website for all the fine details www.nourishfarm.ca.

It just never gets old....warm fuzzy spring feelings, the beauty of lettuce, watching a tiny seed develop and nurturing it with love and care, letting Mother Nature decide when it’s time for her to help care for everything outside, knowing our weeds are our chickens dessert, listening to the frogs croaking, seeing my first bee, a droplet of water hanging on a leaf, a cats life, daffodils standing with poise, insects coming awake, tasting the yumminess and feeling the health our veggies gift us with once again and the smell of a tomato plant growing!!

This living life stuff is pretty dam cool!!!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone, spread love and joy....and keep smiling!!😁
We sure will be tomorrow 😁

26/03/2021

Goodbye paperwork,planning and shimmering snowflakes....hello dirty hands, yummy veggies and glorious sunshine!!! So what do we get up to in the winter?? One would think, as I once did, there was a lot of off time after the farming season but truth is it just turns into the business side of farming vs getting dirty farming but I don’t think I need to get into all those details...boring!😉 But regardless of the season we still work but we make sure we always have a life balance by spending lots of time with our furry babies, with each other, alone and not always working😊

And how exciting this is our 10th anniversary farming, 8 of them without having to work at our past jobs!!! Woo hoo!! I’m so happy I ignored all the fears and that little annoying voice in my head and instead I let the universe take the wheel because this farming stuff is pretty freaking awesome!!!😁. We will see all your smiling faces April 3rd back . Yippee!!!😃
