July 5th Open House

On Sunday we had a nice crowd of picnickers. It turned out the be a wonderful day for strolling around the farm. In the picture below in the centre are my grandparents, Avard and Sandy Bishop. Being 80 doesn't slow them down. At the "home farm", Noggins Corner Farm, our Bishop family has been farming on the same land since 1760. My grandfather has lived their his entire life. It is a really neat feeling to have such a long history in one location. It is also really special to be creating a new "home farm" - Taproot. Maybe one of our great grand children will be saying the same sort of thing in 80 years.

The tunnel to the right is full of romaine lettuce and butter head lettuce.
The greenhouse in the back is where all the transplants are started. And the house in the back - the basement is the work space along with our office on the main floor that you can't see from this picture.

The kids loved the swing. At one point all the swings were going and I was a bit concerned about the top bar - it was put to the child test.

Nicole helped prepare and serve the yummy strawberry shortcake.

Thanks for coming!
