100 mile diet

Well it was an adventure! We try to eat local as much as possible, 100 mile diet describes the radius of food sources we should find the foods we eat, as to help sustain local produce, farms ect......So today my friend and I decided to go for "an adventure" to find "Wholearth farmStudio", a beautiful organic farm. Well it was a 100 mile diet day alright___ we ended up in the(extremely) wrong town- almost 60 km too far (had the wrong address originally-- (did I mention wrong town too), therefor even my GPS, google maps, wasn't working on my phone, (cause we didn't have the right address... or town...). Well needless to say we persevered and eventually ended up at A farmers house, but not the right one of course , now we were too far west!!!!!Theses lovely people got their laptop out and helped us possibly locate this wonderful place.? Maybe, we still were not sure (Google maps had it listed in Trent hills, not Hastings?)... one last exhausted try, almost no battery on the phone for any direction/tired & hot --we Finally found it. Now it is 6:00 pm, left home at 1:30.pm.... over 200 kilometers (by the time we got home)!!! LOL LOL...But what a spectacular spot, today was the owner (Montana's) birthday, so there were lots of people camping out and having a wonderful time by the pond, farm and fields. She had sheep wondering everywhere, chickens, amazing gardens, flowers, Beautiful barns and fantastic landscapes... but I can only post one photo, so you'll have to imagine the rest... what a worthwhile adventure. I will go back very soon, only next time i'll take a shortcut, approx. 55 km(each way)!! :)
