The Homestead Organic Photos

All photos by Ian. 1. Ian's happy because we had just pulled the last of the second cut of hay off the field. It was sweaty work. We were glad to be through it.

2. Apricots, Sunshine Farm. We were down for a birthday party for friend Anna, and were treated to an excellent tour by owner-farmer John Alcock, pictured. The guy is a plant wizard. Later in the tour we got to see a flowering turmeric plant in his greenhouse.

3. Grasshopper.

4. Last year for my birthday, Vanessa and her parents bought me business magnets to spruce up the van. This year, they bought me another to replace the one that blew off during a storm, never to be seen again by these eyes. Somewhere between Westbank and Kamloops, someone's freezer is advertising our farm to no one in particular.
