Upcoming Food Forest Tour of the farm happening Saturday Sept 12th from 10 am until noon!
Without much fanfare I celebrated 10 years here in Bayside this spring. 10 years of digging, planting, dreaming, cursing and learning. Planting began the first day I moved here and has continued each spring and fall with now hundreds of plants off all different ages.
There are examples of highly productive, highly functional systems. There are examples of not very productive, non functional systems and sometimes its hard to tell the difference.
Some fruit trees are loaded with fruit, some aren't. Some berries had the most productive season this year, some didn't produce anything. That's part of the joy of all this work, living within the ecosystem and being ready to reap the harvest of a mast year, while not putting all one's hope into one particular plant every single season.
If any of this interests you, please spread the word and I hope to see a good crowd here on the 12th for a walk around of the farm. I will also have my value added goodies set up for sale after the tour.
Thank you to Sima's Roots and Fruits for organizing the summer long food forest tour series around the province
