So cool!
Spotted in the field: a praying mantis ootheca 🌾

This is an egg case produced by a female mantis shortly after mating. The secretion hardens into a protective casing, sheltering dozens to hundreds of eggs through the winter ☃️🪺

The nymphs inside develop slowly and will hatch in the spring 🌿🌼

On the farm, every day is Earth Day!
As farmers we have to look after the land, and work with it, to ensure it looks after us, and future generations!

Did you know that you should try to eat at least 5 portions or 400 grams of fruits and vegetables every day?

YES = ❤️
NO = 🔁

Here are just 5 reasons why fruits and vegetables are essential to our health and wellbeing!

March got it backwards - it's supposed in like a lion out like a lamb, not out like a lion too! Thankfully it's only tree damage & no damages to the buildings!

It's Food Waste Action Week, & it has us thinking of what we do to minimize food waste. My favourite?
🫑We freeze crops when we have an abundance - nothing like our own peppers & onions in a fajita in January!
What do you do to help reduce food waste?

But did you know that they also provide us with medicines and more?

Test your knowledge about them and earn Bee Medals in the process!

The snow is good for the fields - we'll just keep reminding ourselves that all that extra nitrogen makes for a great fertilizer.....❄️❄️

Love, true love. When you use some of the strawberry jam you've been rationing all season long for a Valentine's Cake, you know it's true 💟 🍓🍓🍰
