we check in at Chateu Laurier for the night, because driving in earlier was a bit tiring. 

Amazing hotel and lots of history, this is even prettier in person

Just after that run - I am still standing which is good.

November 2, 2023 Pumpkins for the Planet

November 2, 2023 Thursday 

Today, we will be helping out at Moneys Bay (OSEAN), the community to upcycle the halloween pumpkin. In many years since starting the farm in 2019, we have been actively composting leaves, kitchen scraps, and pumpkins. We have amazing results -  enriching the soil for ecological farming.  We grow shrubs such as nannyberry, elderberry, serviceberry, saskatoon berries and raspberries, both for human consumption and wildlife. 

I found out this year and connected with OSEAN and they are gathering 1,000 pumkins, supporting foodbank and farming composting, and farms with wildlife. I am excited, I will drive the 15 cubic ft van so they can collect more. I am happy that Enterprise has one moving van available for today. 

This was one of our home pumpkin. Kyle decorated it, and it looks nice with the long pruner. We actually did not add fertilizer to our pumpkin patch, the compost was good enough to grow big pumpkins. 

Canada Day 2023

Canada Day 2023 

Ottawa City, Ontario Canada

 Every year, being Canadian is celebrated in our family in small and big way.

We are proud Canadian, all my 3 kids were born here in Ottawa, the national capital région. They study here in the Catholic School Board, and learn English and French. 

Kieren my youngest is now 13 years old ( born June 2010 ), my daughter Karlina is 14 ( born Feb 2009) and kenneth 19 ( born Aug 2004).

I'm beaming with pride, my kids grow up healthy and happy citizenship.

I followed my goals of setting up a small sustainable farm of végétables. Since this is an old, fallow farm ( overgrown for many years), it is a big job of clearing. We have 2 locations one in Kanata and one in Leitrem/Farmers Way Rd. My partner in this adventure is Kyle and we have been farming together for about 5 years. Weeds are always plenty, so we are busy plowing and composting.

It's been à hardworking farmer simple life and we settled in the edge of the city in Leitrem Rd with the land adjacent to our 10-acre farm.
