Everdale Organic Farm

Recently I arranged a field trip for our local homeschool group to visit Everdale Organic Farm. It was a Farmer For A Day program where kids harvested vegetables (some they have probably never tried before) for their own soup and salad.



We were a bit soggy but it was nothing a good warm wood stove couldn't cure.



They learned about sheep and wool, eggs and chickens and then had a chance to romp around the fields for a while. The most popular sport was chasing down a chicken to hold, without running or causing chaos of course.

It took some practice but in the end every child got a chicken.


I loved seeing the sheep. Sheep are one of my most favourite farm animals. I wish we could have sheep at our farm but at this point I am not sure. It was just nice to hang out, talk with some experienced farmers and get my feet wet!



This is also the farm where I took my bee keeping and soap making courses this summer. This place is all about sustainability with strawbale homes, solar power and biodiesel. I feel at home when I visit there and wish that one day I could have an Everdale of my own.
