I Recently took some photos of the most adorable, well behaved boys, Niko and Luka. They're sons of a good long-time soccer mate (Kritty) Kristy and her body builder of a husband Dave. A beautiful family.
I love it! What an incredible way to spend the summer. It's only been two weeks and I've learned so much already. My living quarters are an awesome old tent trailer. We (us 4 interns) have an incredible outdoor kitchen and the most amazing supply of fresh veggies, home raised beef, chicken and pork and of course fresh milk and cream for morning cereal (hand milked by yours truly on a semi daily basis)
lettuce seedlings
Andrea's new home...the silo!
Trish, our milking cow
Lunch break with the team Jocelynn and her first batch of freshly baked bread (it was delicious) broccoli in the hoop house building a platform for the new intern quarters (to be occupied by David) my dirties barefoot gardening...yes please home David stale bedding Double dug beds filled with broccoli
Trip to the falls after a hard hot sunny day of shoveling manure. (much needed)
In nutshell. Studied Art Fundamentals and Applied Photography at college. Worked as a freelance candid wedding photographer (amongst other things) in Toronto for many a year. Got fed up with city life. Travelled, WWOOFED, and interned on an organic farm. Now I work for Tawse Winery. Growing organic produce. Just me, a rake, a hoe, a wheelbarrow and my two hands.
Oh, also I'm the sugar tester for the Niagara on the Lake wineries each Autumn and yes, still a photographer from time to time.
Goal: to own my own farm. A good old country life. Sustainably and using as much of my wits as possible.
