In the big chair at Kayben Farms, Okotoks

Take a seat at Kayben FarmsThis is a picture of myself, John Mills, and my girlfriend, Rayell Rowland, while visiting Kayben Farms this fall. We are in their big chair, which is just one of the large attractions on the farm. We also had time to pick some awesome strawberries, have a glass of black currant slushy and purchase some gifts from the on-site store. This was fantastic because, as you can see, we were dressed up and needed a gift for the wedding to which we were headed that day. Jolene and Judy Kolk were amazing hosts...This was my one visit to another farm this year so I thought that I should share the experience. John Mills, Eagle Creek Farms.

There are moments that are magic, and events that are alchemy. You never know when they will arrive, or with whom. All you can do is raise your face to the sky and say thank-you.

Canning with Penny and Tony Marshall was one of those moments. Learn more »
