DH is temporarily working with his cousin on his organic farm, close to Ashcroft BC. I have just been up there for a few days, and it really is gorgeous around there. Will post a few pics. To get to the farm, you actually drive off Highway #1, and drive up 5K into the mountain area. This picture shows White Mountain, and the farm is at the base.
This farm has been around for awhile. It is totally off the power grid, and they get their electricity from water flowing down the mountain, and going through a turbine.
Main products grown are jerusalem artichokes, raspberries, garlic, and rhubarb. This year they are going to expand into turnips and beets. First rhubarb harvest just finished and they took off about 1700 pounds!
