Happy Winter Solstice!

This is arguably one of my favorite days of the year...It's all downhill from here. At least thats my feeling on this first day of winter. Excited for the days to get longer and in just a couple of months to have the first seeds of 2011 germinating.

Also exciting on this first day of winter is my dinner. Which is cooking right now - kale (in chip form of course) and brussels sprouts from Skeeter Farm. I'll probably add some cookies and other holiday treats to the veggies to make it a well rounded dinner, but I sure am happy to still be eating the vegetables of our labour this late in the year!

Third exciting thing of the day: Amanda and I had a monumental meeting this morning where we signed on as partners together going forward. It's a good feeling to make things "official"...but also seems so formal for something as natural and organic as growing good food together.

Fourth and final exciting thing - check out the view across the road from the new farm...pretty sweet!



Happy Holidays folks! Hope you all have a delicious meal with good people in the next week in honor whatever you might be celebrating!

  1. Congratulations on formalizing your new plantership and for making it through the shortest day of the year. I think of it as all uphill from now on. Happy holidays from your parents in the land of sun and produce abundance...off to the mercado for oranges and grapefruit for our morning juice. These farmers can't be making much with oranges at around 30 cents Canadian/kilo!
