I've just gotten home from checking on the sheep. All is well and no lambs yet. The weather sure has taken a turn for the worst as we make our way into February. Right now it's 4:30am, the wind is still gusting to 70 km/h and there is blowing snow albeit not much. Snow is falling in some areas and not in others but it still means that driving up to Torbrook where the farm is can be a bit challenging. I'm going back to bed for a few hours before I have to check on the sheep again. Hope you're all staying nice and warm wherever you are. I like to hear the wind moaning past the house knowing that the ewes are all snug and warm in their barn and I'm tucked up in my bed. Time for some sleep. Goodnight.
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.
