Sunday afternoon antics. 🪁

I couldn’t make this up if I tried.

Casmyr wanted to fly a kite. Then Verity wanted a turn.

Casmyr, being the responsible older brother, told her:

“Make sure you hold on tight and don’t let go.”

Solid advice.

He then took the kite back… and let go.

So much for the safety briefing. 😂

We assumed the kite was gone somewhere out in the field, but apparently it had other plans.

After getting caught in the trees, it has somehow emerged with improved aerobatic capabilities.

At this point, I’m not sure if we’re flying a kite or conducting a new form of tree-based aviation research.

Remote-control kite or tree flying? What do you think?

The kids seem to think this is going exactly as planned. 🪁🌳😂

After helping Dad at the Lac du Bonnet Farmers' Market all morning, the kids decided they had earned some serious beach time. 😎🏖️

And honestly… who am I to argue? 😂

They worked hard, helped out, talked to customers, and did their part at the honey stand — then deserved some serious playtime! 😂🏖️

A HUGE thank-you to everyone who stopped by the market today, supported our little family business, grabbed some honey, and encouraged the kids. ❤️🍯

The market may be work… but apparently the beach is part of the employee benefits package. 😂

Apparently, it’s National Pancake Day.

At least that’s what the kids told me.

And since children are obviously the most reliable source of national holiday information, we immediately got to work. 🥞😂

Today’s highly official pancake celebration included:

🥓 Locally raised bacon and 🥚 Locally raised eggs from Kurbis Country Market

🍯 And, of course, Yurkowski Family Farm Ceylon Cinnamon Honey in the pancakes.

The kids mixed everything, made the pancakes, and conducted the extremely important taste-testing portion of the scientific process.

Results are in:

Pancakes = approved.
National Pancake Day = still under investigation. 😂

But honestly, I don't need much convincing when the kids say we need pancakes.

Some family traditions just need to be taken seriously. ❤️

While we’re still in recovery mode from the huge success at last weekend’s Lac du Bonnet Farmers' Market and Manitoba MB Night Market and Festival (thanks to all of you! ❤️), the beat goes on!

We’ve also been busy restocking for deliveries and getting ready for this Saturday in Lac du Bonnet. 🍯🐝

Tomorrow’s plan includes finding some new indoor school shoes at canadian Footwear and getting the kids’ haircuts at Stylerite Unisex hairstylist on Jefferson. ✂️👟 And while we’re in Winnipeg, we’ll also be making FREE deliveries for orders placed with us.

We completely sold out of our 1 kg jars and 3 kg pails of liquid clover honey over the weekend, but we’re restocked and ready to go!

And yes… we’re also restocked on Chai Masala and Sweet Chili infused honey — while supplies last! 🔥🍯

If you’d like to place an order for delivery tomorrow, there’s still time!

And just like there’s still time to get your honey order in, there’s still time to get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather. ☀️

There’s a reason we put the word “Family” in Yurkowski Family Farm Honey… and it’s not just for the trendiness. 😂🍯

Today, while I was giving Zarah a bath, TWO separate honey customers came to the stand.

By the time I managed to get out of the house to help them, the other kids had already:

🐝 Served them
🍯 Got them their honey
💰 Collected payment

Apparently, I’m no longer required to run the honey stand. 😂

And if you’re really, really, REALLY lucky, you might even get served by our resident flying magical unicorn. 🦄✨🍯

Just another day at the family farm on Hwy 12 North of Beausejour.

The honey harvest may be winding down, but the bees are still hard at work. 🐝🍯

This is wax skimmed from fresh honey before it’s strained and bottled—a little glimpse of the work that goes into every jar.

We’re both exhausted and incredibly grateful after two days of markets. So many new faces, and so many returning customers. Thank you for supporting our family farm and our honey business. ❤️

One quick reminder from the weekend: please make sure your credit card purchase has actually gone through before walking away from the table. We believe there may be one pail of creamed honey where the payment didn’t complete. If that might have been you, please reach out and we’ll get it sorted out.

Today is for family time and recovery… although we’re already getting ready for farm sales, deliveries, and next weekend.

Busy, tired, grateful—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

It’s been a very busy couple of days!

A big shout-out and thank you to Brookfield Towing The Honey Hauler made her way to Winnipeg to have her windshield repaired by Inland Glass.

She’s a real workhorse, often carrying the whole family and the honey to market. But I think she deserves a proper name. What do you think we should call her?

Yesterday at the Lac du Bonnet Farmers' Market , you guys once again hit it out of the park. Thank you so much for your support. My boss and supervisor said I did okay… but just barely. 😂

After the market, it was home to unload the borrowed van, then back to pick up the Honey Hauler.

And wow, doesn’t that windshield look beautiful?

Never mind the hood. It looks like a goat danced on it. 😂

Now it’s Sunday morning, three hours of sleep later, and we’re getting ready for the Manitoba Night Market and Festival . I did manage a very late—or very early—supper of deluxe wonton soup from Lee’s Restaurant in Beausejour.

Enough for now. Back to bottling honey!

If you’re at the market today, come by and say hi!

A long day.

Pediatric pre-op.

Then wait.

More waiting.

A little time in the Ronald McDonald Room. ❤️

Then, finally, an hour of pizza and Slurpee in the park.

And then home after a very long day.

Some days are measured in hours. Others are measured in waiting rooms, little moments, and finding something to smile about in between.

Today was one of those days.

I’m tired, but grateful. ❤️

Oh, and somewhere in the middle of all of that, it was my birthday. 🎂

Not exactly how I would have planned to spend it, but I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have spent it with. ❤️

So here we are.

Thank you for joining us on this great adventure. For better or worse, rain or shine, there’s never a dull day on the farm.

I’m not saying it’s always crazy and hectic, because it’s not. But there’s always something happening — and sometimes, something a little magical.

I’m incredibly grateful for my family and friends, and for each and every one of you who, in your own way, helps support our farm. Whether you buy a jar of honey, stop by the market, share a post, lend a hand, or simply follow along, it all means more than you might realize.

And things go on, as they always do.

A windshield for the van is coming from Calgary and is scheduled to be installed Saturday. A friend and neighbour is lending me a vehicle tomorrow, as Zarah and I will be at Children's Hospital Winnipeg for four hours or more. Another friend is helping get us, our trailer with honey, and market canopy to the Lac du Bonnet Farmers Market on Saturday — and is once again giving me a ride to the city so I can hopefully pick up the repaired van.

Then Sunday, it’s off to the Manitoba MB Night Market and Festival in the city, with all five children on board.

It may not always go according to plan, but somehow, we keep moving forward.

And honestly, I wouldn’t trade this adventure for anything. ❤️

While I’m waiting for my MPI claim to be processed, here’s something a little more fun to share from last week. 😄

Yesterday, August 17th, was National Thrift Store Day.

I didn’t realize until recently that thrifting was actually trendy. Period. 😂

Some people thrift because it’s a relaxing hobby. Others thrift out of necessity. As a single parent of five children, I’d say I probably fall somewhere in between!

Everything you see here came from one shopping trip to Kildonan MCC Thrift Shop in Winnipeg — one of my favourite thrift stores.

Now for the fun part… 👇

How many items of clothing do you think I got, and what do you think my total bill was?

Drop your guesses in the comments. Let’s see who comes closest! 😆
