We still have shares available. Please help us and spread the word! We would really, really, really like to sell out. It was a hard week driving the tractors this week! Phew! I’m glad for the rain. My butt was getting sore sitting all day. Actually, that’s not true. I did do some other things […]

What a delight! Two Newsletters in one week. Must be a bit slow on the farm eh Chris? Au contraire mon frere. In reality there is a lot going on, that’s why we need two newsletters. That and the fact we forgot to put some stuff in the last newsletter. Oh, and there’s an update […]
