Thiessen Farms: Knotty Vampires!
http://thiessenfarms.blogspot.com/2012/03/knotty-vampires.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. No more vampires on our farm! I got rid of them yesterday. Of course I'm talking about Vampire plum trees - what did you think? Vampires are a dark red, round plum. What makes them unique is their flesh - a blood red colour, instead of the usual yellow flesh of most red plums. Hence their name! Vampires are a fairly new variety of plum. When they first became available we planted only a few trees, to see what they would be like. Black knot is what did them in. Our Vampire trees ...

MO FARM: December 2011
http://mofarm.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
There are few things I love more than decorating for the Christmas season. That said, it's been tough to get into the spirit so far, but last week I set my mind to creating a welcoming entrance. Call it peer pressure, because my neighbours spare no expense or effort in offering a carnival of lights, glowing deer and garland! I decided to skip the fanfare and focus on what I love most - the understated beauty of natural materials. How are you decorating for the holidays? Thursday, December 08, 2011. I'm a...

MO FARM: Spring?
http://mofarm.blogspot.com/2012/03/spring.html
It must be, because my seeds are here! It's been a loooong winter for my family and I, and I've been miserable at updating the Mo Farm blog. But it's a new season, and a fresh start, and I cannot WAIT to be back in fresh air, sunshine and soil. Looking back at last season, I'm already behind! I'll be sowing my first round of seeds this weekend, (a solid week behind last season's schedule) and you can start too! Check out this post from last year. For everything you need to sow and grow from seed!

http://mofarm.blogspot.com/2012/05/getting-back-to-sun-soil.html
Getting Back to Sun and Soil. Is there any better feeling? It was a long, hard, bitter winter for my family and I. While the weather wasn't too harsh, our cicumstances were. we fought depression and boredom. We fought with eachother. We fought with our finances. We fought cancer. It feels good to be back. What are you growing this year? Friday, May 25, 2012. June 1, 2012 at 11:52 PM. Im sorry to hear you had such a rough go of things this winter but glad to hear your spirits are lifting.

More cooking, better labelling can address food waste | Food and Farming Canada
http://www.foodandfarmingcanada.com/2014/06/23/cooking-better-labelling-can-address-food-waste
More cooking, better labelling can address food waste. I’ve written about food waste before: here. The statistics that are often used to quantify the shocking amount of food that we produce but end up discarding are staggering. Not only are we wasting the actual food, but we’re also throwing out the water, energy and other resources we’ve used to produce it. In Canada, the Value Chain Management Centre has found that our food waste sits at approximately $27 billion a year. Sweden and the Netherlands have...
