LOVE, LOVE, LOVE...



I'm in love with the family we met today.  
They invited us to their home to take their pony for a walk.
Who can say no to that.


On that walk, we met five more ponies.
Only in Southlands do you run into people walking their ponies while you are out walking your pony.
Is it wrong to covet that grey ponies hair
Seriously, she must go to Zooey Deschanel's hair dresser.  


When we got home, I had one of those uh-oh moments.
I'd spent time walking ponies and didn't buy groceries.
But once I surveyed the land...and cupboards...


I found I had everything to make waffles!


Ponies in the day and waffles at night.
Best Day Ever!


I added an over easy egg and sauteed kale to mine.
Breakfast for dinner is awesome - do you ever do this?

Today's Parent...


Our farm crew arrive tomorrow to start filling blueberry orders.
Just in time is the new Today's Parent Magazine with a very happy story on us and of course, 
lots of recipes from the Farm Fresh Cookbook.
Janis Nicolay shot all the image for this story and they are beyond beautiful.





Lily of Spruce Collective  (one of my favourite places to shop) came out with her adorable little red headed girls 
to play with my popsicle loving gal. 
Happy Monday folks!

Reasons To Grow Vegetables...


We had a little holiday.


The girls stayed home but didn't seem to mind as they got to enjoy some quiet poolside time after a very brisk badminton tournament. 
  There was a bit of trouble when we learnt the watermelon may ..or may not have been soaked with vodka.
Coco - the one on the right, flat out denies it.  


Everything was bursting when we got back.


Which brings me to my biggest reason to grow vegetables and have chickens..


Because when you go away...


...and come home to empty cupboards and zero desire to grocery shop...


you simply pop outside...


..and find dinner.

Style at Home Magazine...


Today, we shot my new vegetable garden and art studio for Canadian Living.
I can't show you any of the shots, but I can show you what is in the latest 
Style at Home magazine on stands now!


It's us!
My sweet girl and I got to fill the entire cook book section this month with some of 
our cookbook recipes and fun images about the farm 


I don't brag or boast often, but I am feeling proud of this.
Grab a copy - it's got some great recipes for summer and extra images not seen in the book.

West Elm Market...


I'm so excited to spend the day at the West Elm Market this Saturday from 12-4
I just love this place.
The very lovely Ashley will be there sampling and selling our Missing Goat Organic Jams.
And I will be there to chat, laugh, sell you a book if you need one, sign a book if you like, and probably spend all my money of fun stuff in this store.
2915 Granville Street, Vancouver

Summer Has Arrived!!!


Happy Canada Day!  
I hope you are in a spot like this today...
or...


...doing something like this...
or...


...finding some of these in your yard...


..like she is!
Yes, chickens jump!


Looks like it will be an early year for the blueberries.  
I can't remember ever picking our blueberries in June.
If you haven't got your order in with us yet, do it quick.
We are almost to our maximum.
