The day begins at 6AM.

The tomatoes were just starting to ripen.

We harvested some sunflowers.

Freshly picked onions. We got quite good at wrapping rubber bands around bunches of things.

One of many greenhouses.

Buddy the farm dog was very sweet.

We stayed in this little cabin.

We recently stayed on a small produce farm about an hour outside of Toronto and spent a day helping out with the harvest. One of Stef's best friends works at the farm and it was great to see her and experience a bit of what she does.

The farm produces all sorts of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and herbs, so we got to see and pick a lot of produce which kept things interesting all day. It was an early 6AM start to get as much done before the heat of the day.

It was hard work but very rewarding. We were both sore for a few days afterwards, and it took a few washes to be fully clean of dirt. The Ontario countryside is beautiful with picturesque farmland interspersed with forests and lakes.
