A foragers feast! One serious haul from a secret location on the north island. #foraging #mushroomforaging #foragingforfood #forestgifts #natureprovides #mushrooms #chanterelles #hedgehogmushroom #coralmushroom #wildcoast #vancouverisland

Quince harvest time! This ancient fruit is shaped like a pear, hard as a rock, & once cooked, tastes like a magical apple. #farmlife #cowichanvalley #valhallafarm #harvest #quince #fruitofthegoddess

Closed loop farming with the magical Maple! We are so lucky to have a multitude of maple trees on the farm. They make some of the best natural mulch available, which gives our garden beds a nice warm blanket to get through the cold season 🍁 🛌 #organic #amendments #natural #closedloop #valhallafarm #farmingisfun

Garlic planting time @ the farm! We hand planted a few hundred cloves of our fave Red Russian, for harvest next summer. Coming to a market near you! Did you know it takes the same amount of time for one single garlic clove to create a whole head, as it does to grow a human baby...9 months! 👶🏻 #farmingiscool #funfacts #certifiedorganic #garlic #localfarmers #cowichanvalley

Harvesting the last of the summer crops as fall sets in & the days grow colder & shorter. Now, time to get that garlic in the ground before the first frost! #welcomefall #tastetherainbow #organicproduce #garlic #love #farmersofig

Time to meet another member of the farm crew! ⭐️ Meet “Spirit”, our beloved boy. He is a rescue from the mainland who has an affinity for cheese, long runs in the forest & ear rubs. He is a cuddle bug & an absolute shadow to his human mom. He loves his sister Winter, & his llama buddy at the farm “Machu Picchu” AKA Peach. Spirit is always around, keeping an eye out for his human & animal buddies. He came with his name, but we think it’s a perfect descriptor of his mystical energy 👻. #spiritanimal #spiritofthedog #caninecompanions #ilovemydog #dogsofig #huskyshepherd #spirit #valhallafarm
