Trying our new garlic harvester for the first time. Worked well with a few minor adjustments.

Cultivating garlic can be tricky to get weed control around each plant. Here we demonstrate how a finger weeder works and also show how we improvised to cut scapes instead of doing it all by hand to get maximum bulb size. In using this method to cut scapes, we had to wait until the scape straightened. We figure we lost about 10% in poundage by the delay in clipping. If you have the time and man...

One of our favorite family past-times is to go to the bush to get wood. We used to just use a skidoo but now we have our oxen and they love to pull (which is actually pushing with their heads with the head yoke) so we take them along. They just love to do things with us and you can see that they are just big pets. These times in nature with animals are such a blessing from God.

Some examples of how we use our oxen for work in the winter..more to come! Mik has been training one of them to ride. See the progression and some steer riding funnies.

There are many today who have wondered away They are out in the fields of sin Once they walked in the light Now they grope through the night O Lord, give us faithful men Chorus: Faithful men, Faithful men To recapture the vision again Give us men who are true and loyal through and through O Lord, give us faithful men Give us men who are strong when the battle is long Give us men with a will to ...

Lyrics: Without the Saviour This life is a puzzle Of shattered hopes and dreams An unfinished picture With ill fitting pieces To add to the meaningless scene. Refrain: Perfectly broken this is God's plan Perfectly broken by and unseen hand Return all the pieces, your heart and soul Be perfectly broken be perfectly whole. Hearts that are broken By Him who has spoken Will understand His will Jesu...

Lyrics: God picked up a sparrow That could no longer fly He brushed off his wounds And then watched it soar into the sky If He's mindful of creation On this I can depend I am His child And I can place all my trust in Him I can trust Jesus I can trust Jesus He never once has failed To meet my needs He is my strong tow'r The strength in my weakest hour I can trust Jesus He takes care of me I have...

Life is like a mountain railroad, With an engineer that’s brave; We must make the run successful From the cradle to the grave; Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels, Never falter, never quail; Keep your hand upon the throttle, And your eye upon the rail. Refrain: Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us, Till we reach the blissful shore, Where the angels wait to join us In Thy praise forevermore. ...

A song by Chris Tomlin Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see Refrain: My chains are gone I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy reigns Unending love, amazing grace Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The h...

A song that has brought great encouragement to us. Amid the pressing cares of life The pain, the greed, the sin and strife Despite the darkness closing in Grant us Oh Lord, a song within Refrain: A song within to swell and rise To Thee, Oh Lord, of earth and skies Above this world's confusing din Hear Thou, Oh Lord, our song within As Paul and Silas sat in jail It seemed that evil would prevail...

Music and lyrics by Sonica Veith Oh Lord I trust in Thee Be merciful to me Teach me Thy ways My God And Let me Thy glory see My child give ear to my law And turn to me as before Oh I will cause you to ride On wings and you will sorrow no more Refrain: You will sorrow no more you will sorrow no more On eagles wings you will soar And you will sorrow no more My Lord soon will descend To bring this...

In this video Mik talks about how he trained the oxen Wilbur and Orville.

Preparing the ground for seeding is an integral part. Here we show how we prepare with green manure crop and then picking rocks prior to seeding. We also have a garlic breaker to separate the cloves and a home built seeder to make seeding much quicker.

In this video we show our harvest and way of processing garlic for sale. In spite of rain and high humidity we had a great harvest and the garlic dried well. God always provides what we need. Never worry.
