One of the aspects of the food & wine industry that I have realized over the years of my career as a Chef is that people can be so serious. Yes, I take pride in what I do and I think that the role I play in the industry has […]
The Bluenose II is currently docked on the Lunenburg wharf on Nova Scotia’s south shore. I like to think she dreams, while gazing out to the Atlantic, of racing with the same prowess as her predecessor in whose likeness she was created. Visitors are allowed to stroll her open decks […]

The end of August! August is such a fast month for me, and I dread it as I end of missing some days at the Station, the students leave and it is a mad scramble to get plots harvested, seed cleaned, and winter crops planted. We had enough rain that […]
It’s hard to believe that we are already nearing the end of summer. I have been staying busy over the past month, fishing most days and it has just flown by. It’s been fun and we’ve had some great weather but it’s depressing to think that it will be coming […]
Maples are definitely one of the more colourful shade trees that can be hardy in our zone 3. Although most maples start their leafing period in hues of green or red, every type of maple has an incredible range of autumn tones once they prepare to enter their dormant stage […]
