I invite you to visit “Our Story” to learn more about who we are and the roots of our farm.  Paul Harvey wrote his famous speech called “So God Made A Farmer” in 1978. His tribute to farmers contains arguably the best-known words ever spoken about agriculture. This wall hanging is a quote extracted from his speech. It was given to us by a very dear employee who is no longer with us, Tony Defusco. It hangs in one of the most used rooms in our house – the mudroom!
Today I reflect on the incredibly perceptive truth of his simple words. Here we are, all four of us - myself, my husband and my two sons, ready to take on everything to grow another crop of potatoes. And we can’t wait! Join us this farming season through my social media to learn more about potato farming in Canada, farming in general, and our life here at the farm. You can visit “Our Story” to learn more about who we are and the roots of Thompson Potato Farm.  Everyone has heard of the Farmer’s Almanac which traditionally predicts the weather for farmers. But do you know about the “Farmer’s Animal Almanac” which offers farmers ways to utilize animals, insects and even birds to help create best farming practices that are environmentally friendly? Here is an excellent example of how homing pigeons helped us last year when the GPS in RJ’s tractor broke. You can see by the track marks in the field that he was turning in circles unsure of which way to go…until the homing pigeons arrived and showed him the way! Are you questioning any of this yet?!
This photo was supposed to be a part of a series of interesting ariel views of our tractors and farming equipment, until the pigeons photobombed my photo shoot. Of course, this created an entirely different kind of interesting photo. Thank you for reading along with me and Happy April Fool’s Day to you! You can visit “Animal Potatoes” for another fun April Fool’s Day joke. |
