The Farm – Paper Quilt Making
It seems that all good things (like Summer) must come to an end – and our time with Popsicle out at the Filberg’s Hands-On Farm officially wraps up this Sunday.
We have totally loved spending the Summer getting to know this feisty friend who greets us at the barnyard door and nudges us into hugs and [...]
The Farm – Everyone Loves Apples
Last Sunday we had a house full of old friends from Vancouver. The combo of energetic kiddos and sleepy adults meant we b-lined for the backyard, only to discover something fantastic – the apples are ready.

Hot Spots – The Comox Hands-On Farm
I have this thing about farms.
There’s a connection to the land and a healthy respect for where our food comes from that makes me jump at any chance to hit anything even remotely farm-like.
So, when the Hands-On Farm at The Filberg opened a few weeks ago, we wasted no time in hoofing it right over [...]
