A Wonderful Eco Farm

Our second WWOOFing experience was in Pugwash, Nova Scotia. Even that we worked 2 days only, we had a really good time and much like the way this small farm is set up.

With all the respect 'small' - it is too small to live to 'just' work on the farm, so both Kirsteen and Louise, our hosts and owners of the farm also have other jobs next to working on the farm.

So, why we like their farm, here are some reasons:

Everything falls into place, it is all so natural and logic and just right.


The chicken are laying and walking around.

The piglets, 5 of them live with the 2 big pigs for 10 months. They then are sold and a the pigs are ready for the next piglets to be born. Some of the meat goes straight into the freezer.


Louise, preparing the feed for the animals.

One cow, currently giving 11 liters of milk. Milk, cream cheese, yoghurt, butter and icecream are made at home. Really cool.

Here Kirsteen is making butter with a home-made "butter shaker"

2 Large vegetable gardens and loads of berries and fruits will take care of most of the greens, jams, jellies etc for the year.

The solar panel give enough energy for the hot water in the house.
There is loads more to tell but the above gives a good picture we hope.

Sonja's task was to weed one of the gardens and pick berries. Matthew and Robin were quite busy scooping more manure. Come over and check out their muscles :-)
