MEAT FEST, HEALTH TIPS & MORE!!!

We had the honor of joining this years Meat Fest in Penticton.  The name really does say it all...it's basically many chefs, farmers and people in the restaurant industry getting together with meat on the mind.  Everyone brought a specialty meat dish and everyone got to vote on one as well.  I believe the dish that won was called Pig Face.  There were so many interesting combinations of everything there.  It was good to meat (lol) other farmers and people who are so into good wholesome food (I was the only person to dare to bring a vegetarian dish). The night went by very fast and before we knew it we were back on the road with our apples (we had not got around to emptying the back of our truck which is loaded with apples) Everyone that walked by got to eat one!

What we really need to do here is to update our website with our latest tomato varieties and what not but It really is a major task and at this time we are still clearing out the feild of all of the produce. 

Here at Sesen Farms we have at least 21 piglettes on the way, and at least 2 more goats on the way!  Our Duck just hatched out 17 eggs which is record and she is now living with them in the greenhouse to avoid all those duckling predators.  3 of our pigs are pregnant so we figure they must have at least 7 each but probably more, so if you are looking for a piglett....you know where to look!

Oh and there is an election coming up in Oliver here.  From what we have dealt with here so far in Oliver regarding our neighbor and his constant complaints and the RDOS along with the current regional district director all I have to say is that I urge you all to please vote for the new guy ( Many people have told me good things about him) .  He current RDD claims that he is for the farmer but in reality he is for the orchardist or the grape grower only the RDOS I feel is basically against the "Farmer".  None of the current bylaws are put in place to help the farmer, in fact they are against the farmer.  We are constantly bombarded with ridiculous rules that are lacking common sense and I would love to see a change. 

As for our strange neighbor who cannot mind his own business....he is still at it.  And I know it is going to get worse.  Just like last year, as soon as the sun disappears, I believe he is lacking in vitamin D or a healthy diet which makes his irrational mind and actions even worse.  Also to top off this guy just got promoted to a "Peace Officer" this guy is far from anything to do with "Peace" Oh well I do find it kind of funny in a way, ironic if you will.  Most people that I meet in this town give us their deepest sympathies when they find out who we live next door to, he is very well known.  I even met one guy at the farmers market who was dead set on exposing him.  According to his story our neighbour here followed him all the way home in his DOT vehicle at the time and threatened him in his own driveway for not pulling over.  This person telling the story said he did not pull over because he was not a cop and it was out of his jurisdiction as he was just driving a car.  Anyways really, I am not one to gossip but its just amazing how much goes around with a situation as intense as this one.

The farmers markets have basically come to an end and so has our beautiful summer.  There was a heavy amount of spraying this year, it makes me sick to see.  If you look up Geoengineering or project "Clover Leaf" on "You Tube" you will know what I am talking about.

What do we have to avoid most in life now that wasn't around 50 years ago?  Chem trails, GMO food and flouride in everything from your water to your toothpaste. 

Health is a huge passion for me in fact it is a way of life now and if I could give advice freely it would be this:

Drink apple cider vinegar in water once a day

Only use food grade Hydrogen Peroxide as mouth wash (it also whitens teeth naturally and is a great facial astringent)

Get as much Sunshine as possible (but do not burn)

Avoid Sunscreen or anything that you put on your skin make sure that you can eat it as well.

Omega 3's are soooo important (I suggest flax oil or flax seeds)

Coconut Oil is incredibly healthy for cooking, medicine, skin and hair

Drink lots of water

Sleep heals all

Aloe vera Plants are easy to look after and have so many benefits, I use them on my face, cuts, burns, very handy to have on hand.

Eat fruit everyday

Wine is healthy (in moderation)

Do not fear anything and doors will open for you

And lastly....grow something....ideally your own food for health and peace of mind.

Cheers

Take care everyone...eat well and hopefully the winter will not seem as long as it did last year.  Cheers
