Food Security and pavilion update.
How would you improve your community? Upgrade our existing North Bruce Peninsula (Lion’s Head & Tobermory) food banks. Give extra funding for Tobermory’s year-round community centre. The Meeting Place is on a shoestring budget. And I’d make damn sure The Bruce Mens Shed gets its own workshop. Men’s mental health is a priority for me. … Continue reading Food Security and pavilion update.

It gets better (with ice storms). March 32nd Farm Report.
What advice would you give to your teenage self? It gets better. In the post-pandemic mindset, this phrase seems to be lost among the screaming meemies and awful players online.

**Must**...?! Let me explain. When the Georgian Bay is warm enough, I enjoy doning neoprene and hopping into Five Fathoms Marine Park. Now that I have more time, I can resume this passion using Diver's Den as my preferred charter. That, and go fishing. I'm enjoying my first night at my new home (while we … Continue reading If I **must** wear clothes, then it’s boots. Waterproof & insulated snowboots!
Companionship and portability!
What is good about having a pet? When I’ve had enough of our house-panthers, I can scoop them up and toss them into a room. I do that to a human child, I get arrested. My niece & nephew are old enough to avoid this fate (when they eventually visit our farm). And companionship. The … Continue reading Companionship and portability!
