Veggies Begin…
Even though we are still busy planting our gardens, we have started harvesting already! What is your favourite recipe for rhubarb? Bonus points if it includes chives 🙂
Prepping for bees
To bee or not to bee, that is the question… Well, we’ve decided to bee. That is to say that we are setting up 2 hives at the farm, and getting our first taste of beekeeping, and, hopefully honey as well. The hives we…
First Winter on the Farm
Our first winter on the farm was awesome.
Filled with many visits from friends and family, we tapped 30 trees and tried to produce our first maple syrup. Some of the first 30 trees we tapped weren’t the right kinds of maples, but now we’ve got it.

Day 35: Narita and Traveling
Our last day in Japan. We are sad to be leaving but honestly pretty ready to go back home, see family, friends and Nanook, and get back into our routines. And some of us are a little hungry for food we are more accustomed…
Day 33: Travel Day – Kyoto to Narita
No teppan. No life. Today we went to a playground for a bit and then travelled from Kyoto to Narita by train. It was great though a bit confusing at Tokyo station again. The highlight of the day was dinner in a very small…
