Sabbatical year has come to a close giving new energy for future as we move into this year season by season. WE have had some great learning a long with wonderful memories and pictures of our four direction tour from 2008.
Right now, we are working in logging with sustainable methods in forestry for fire wood and saw logs off our own land here at Waverley Brook Farm.
The season will be shifting soon for our area into maple syrup. The liquid gold produced only in this bio-region of the world is being created by the maple trees as we sleep. The nights need to be a few degrees below freezing and then a shift to a few degrees above freezing in the day creates the flow of sap that we harvest and boil into syrup for sale here at the sugar house. You are invited to come tour the maple sugar house just 4 Km from Haliburton, off Gelert Road. If we are there the gate is open.
Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) food box program is now open for 2009 summer members. If you would like 18 weeks worth of fresh local produce, give us a call and join today one of the limited memberships available. You can get a form by e-mailing us and send $50 deposit. Then before June 1 the remaining $450 for the food box is due. There is a 10 hour work required that can be paid out at $10/hr if you are not able to join us in the fun.
You receive over 60 crops of Fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers in your fresh harvested food box from mid June to Thanksgiving weekend in a regular pick up at the farm plus gleaning weeks in the fall. You can also have it delivered for an extra $50.
The beauty of creation is all around us in the movement of the seasons and the care that we can share in community. Watch for the surprises with your eyes and ears open to the magic of nature.
