Missing in Action

You may have noticed we were MIA last week, no market, no blogging, no anything. The plan was to have a glorious holiday, and we did manage a great day out in Saanichton, we did some berry picking and hit up the petting zoo at Dan's Farm with two of our favorite people. Then tragedy struck and we both came down with a dreadful combination of cold and allergies. The rest of the week was spent watching Band of Brothers and eating the spoils of our day foraging berries.


Not to worry, we are back on track and can't wait for the market this week!

And So It Begins

One of the draws to our new home when we were house hunting was the size of the back yard. It was left for so long, it was a shamble but we had a dream and that dream was chickens. It took us seven months, but we captured that dream!
With the help of a fellow Moss Street Market vendor, Evelyn of Terra Nossa Farm we now have 4 beautiful brown chickens whom we love and adore!

Terra Nossa farm is a beautiful all organic family run farm on 26 acres in Mill Bay. They raise pigs and turkeys and chickens oh my.

Before picking up our new lady friends we were lucky enough to get a tour of their farm and now 4 chickens seems too few and our yard that was huge now just doesn't seem to be enough. Oh the grass is always greener.



This husky is one of their next door neighbours, who raise and raise their own sled dog team! I have always always wanted a husky and was drooling over them as they drooled over the chicks.

More on our 4 new friends comming soon,
