On occasional Thursdays we visit an organic farm on the island and get a tour of how things are done, what's growing, facts and info from the farm manager. In exhcange for this we do a bit of work, so far its just been mulching. It's been great so far to see how things are done differently at other farms.
Last week we visited Foxglove farm up on Mount Maxwell. Michael Ableman, the owner has a shit ton of land, and his operation makes Salt Spring Centre look like very small. This is a meadow up on the mountain, by this meadow Michael is growing alfalfa grass, which he will then harvest and use as mulch. It' s much better than straw because its more nutritious.
Yoni was also playing with Michael's new puppy Ozzy and getting it really excited, it kept trying to bite him. I feel like I keep posting things about Yoni all the time. He's really not that interesting.
