Farm Store Visit

After our brief visit to Pakenham, mentioned yesterday’s blog, Terry had one more destination in mind - a nearby farm to see if the farmer, Glen Needham, still had corn on the cob.











Most years, corn season ends in late August or early September, but we had a long summer this year, so Terry was hopeful.

Terry often buys corn from Glen at various farmers markets. This was the first time we came here to get it.

Terry did manage to get a few cobs - and, this late in the season, they still tasted very good.











We also checked out Glen’s new greenhouse... 











I wonder if he envisages enlarging it someday to be as big as the one we saw in London...











Last time we were here, Glen had just installed an outdoor furnace that would heat the house, store and barn. I see it burns wood. Here’s  a pile ready to go this winter... 

Glen also has a gizmo like a cannon that he uses to shoot pumpkins into the field. Actually, he has an old truck in the field and aims the pumpkins at the truck...



The pumpkin cannon can be seen to the left of the barn.

Farming is a lot of work, but I suspect Glen also has a lot of fun.
