Family & Freshness – Seaview Game Farm
Editor’s Note: This is a bittersweet day as Robyn Butler hangs up her OBE columnist pen when she moves into her new role as our advertising and marketing associate.
I have been inspired over the last half a year to spend way more time cruising the local farm scene. Eating local is as easy as it [...]
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.
That may not mean much to anyone else. But, we weren’t even sure there would be any apples in the [...]
The Farm – Rocking the Barnyard
When we popped in at the Hands-On Farm over at the Filberg on Sunday, Popsicle was giving us the evil eye.
Maybe it was the “Please save me from these crazy pigs” eye. Nonetheless, his new “buddies” Penelope and Veruca are scaring the spots off of him.
P & V may only be six weeks old. But, [...]
The Farm – Keep Cool, Pioneer Style
It is HOT on the Farm these days.
This week is blazing as the dog days of Summer set in the animals are feeling it too, bucking for shady spots and taking quick dips in the pool (they have one, ya know) to beat the heat.
Our Hands-On Farm Friend, Popsicle, was feeling a little sluggish in [...]

First, a few facts:
- Popsicle is a Holstein, the breed of [...]
The Farm – Meet Our Farm Friend Popsicle
We’ve been waiting for this all year.
Spring gave us a taste of Summery good times. But, now it’s official.
Today is opening day at The Hands-On Farm over at The Filberg.
It’s something our daughter looks forward to every year – weeks on end of getting to know our farm friends and trying to talk me into [...]
A Barn As A Recreation Asset
I cannot be happier to report that Comox Rec Program Director Patti Fletcher kicks off her monthly column today with talk about the Hands-On Farm.
This gem, which generally is open at The Filberg for eight glorious Summer-time weeks each year, has some big news. We all can jump in for some Spring farm fun (and [...]
The Parents Primer for North Island Birthday Party Locales
If there was ever one day that makes kiddos screech with excitement and parents cringe just a bit with knowing the work that will go into it all, it has got to be your tiny person’s birthdays and the ensuing parties that make childhood sweet.
Finding the perfect locale to celebrate that special day can be [...]
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 [...]
