parting words from David

"I had a spectacular time at your beautiful farm and experienced many "first times."
The food was so good I think I gained a couple of kilograms, not mentioning the fun preparing it. I had my first smoked salmon, caught my first fish, 3 cut throat trouts in the resevoir, picked oysters more than I coould eat and grinded fresh wasabi. I would also make my snail pancakes when I get back to Taiwan for sure.
Besides the food, I learned a lot of organic farming knowledge also. I was excited to see the great wall of seaweed and herring spawn which we eventually collected 2 truck loads for compost. The temperature of the piles went up to 120 F in just a few days while it snowed in this inordinary April. From harvesting to packaging to selling, I gained insight to the farmer's perspective of running business at the farmers market.
I loved the work outdoors with Basil and Jesse around. Speaking of Basil, she was the first dog that I ever played frisbee with, even though we both felt down when the frisbee sunk into the resevoir. Luckily, Lijen found a tennisball right the next day.
I had my first novice mountain bike experience in the trails in Cumberland and had a wonderful afternoon watching my first DownHill race. The picnic and ride we had along the Puntledge River trip was relaxing and adventurous at the same time.
Finally I would want to thank you all for letting me like home for the first time on this journey. I would definitely come back when I'm in BC and have even more great times."
