Alberta, never really saw myself going there. It's not usually very high on anyones list of places to go, however it is a hidden gem. My lovely husband said; "Go on, you'll never have any peace if you don't go! " What a gem he is, really. So, off I went. All. By. Myself.
Spruce View Farms is a groups of farmers who contacted us to see if we would come out and help with setting up a Meat CSA. We had a blast, visited Banff, saw the Rockies, went to the focus group where people came despite a spring snow storm and were overwhelmingly enthusiastic about supporting local ranches and eating better. It is so encouraging to see farmers, ranchers, gardeners, etc. get really excited about what they do! The ability to know there farmer, ( not in the Biblical sense) to feel connected to the land and have a voice in how it is cared for.
Ok, done with my rant. It was just great to watch something come to life.
