Giant Skies For Tiny Earths

Directly after classes ended, I packed up and moved to a farm on Vancouver Island. I am completing this assignment from the tiny but beautiful living accommodations which I share with two other apprentices. I have been here for two weeks now and have been truly loving it. The work is hard but rewarding, the farm manager has amazing knowledge that he shares often and willingly, and the two girls who I live, work, and spend all my free time with are lovely and inspiring. We harvest eggs, buy raw milk from our neighbors down the road, cook and eat together daily. Island people are good and kind. Tonight a complete stranger handed me his keys when my truck’s battery died so I could drive down the road and find jumper cables from the gas station.  I am committed to being here for a year, and feel the knowledge, and experience I gain here will be invaluable.
