I don't know what it is about Taber corn...but it's delicious. Because of the terribly wet start to the growing season many crops are delayed by weeks, including corn, so we didn't think we'd be able to have any this year. But imagine my joy when we had to run to Fabricland and there in the adjacent parking lot was a truck selling the first Taber corn of the season. Hooray! We had fresh corn for lunch and dinner and it's wonderful! Corn is one of those veggies that's best eaten as fresh as possible. And if you've never had really fresh corn then I suggest you start planning for next year and grow some in your garden. Or check out your local farmers market.
Today we got the canvas done for the trailer, visited more with Grandma and Grandpa and took the boys and Dave down to Cardston Temple to the visitors centre. What a beautiful and peaceful place. Every temple has the same feeling of peace and tranquility about it and Cardston is no exception. It's a 'must see' if you are ever in southern Alberta. Here's the church's official picture from the website at ldschurchtemples.com
We had a dream, like so many others before us, to live a simple and sustainable life on our own organic farm... so we drove from Vancouver Island, British Columbia to the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia, and we've been here nearly 6 years. We love life, learning, and sharing with others. Follow our adventures as we build a vibrant small family farm and work towards self-sufficiency using a combination of traditional methods, permaculture and original ideas.
