Sacred Mountain Lavender Farm

ByKeri Coles

On my way home from the cob building workshop on Salt Spring Island, Ella and I took a detour to Sacred Mountain Lavender Farm. Sadly, we were missing the lavender festival by two days but I thought we should still take the opportunity to go by the farm. It was soooooooo worth it. The lavender was GORGEOUS! Oh, the heavenly smell! The farm is a fabulous working demonstration farm where they encourage you to get in there and experience it. I think it is so important these days, with the prevalence of the disconnect between our plates and the farmers, that we try to engage the public in the growing process. Sacred Mountain does just that. Thank you!!! Here are some shots from the day:

    A large anti-Enbridge rally against the Northern Gateway Pipeline happened in Victoria last Sunday. Hundreds turned out to the Legislature lawns before taking to the streets to march to Centennial Square. Once at the square, there was an afternoon full of workshops and panel discussions related to the environment, the energy sector, and effective ways to get involved in the debate. Here are some images from the day:

    Rifflandia has done it once again 😉 What an incredible week of awesome shows. I am continually blown away by what a brilliant idea this festival is. 150 some bands, four nights, and one wristband. All for the love of music. Thanks to the organizers for masterminding this extravaganza. This year, I was asked to put together a crew of official photographers so that there would be a photographer stationed at each of the 10 venues every night. I couldn’t of asked for a better team. You can check out everyone’s photos in the gallery on the Rifflandia site here….

  • Apple Pressing

    ByKeri Coles

    Our neighbours and friends invited us to join them for a day of apple pressing. Not only did the day create the most delicious apple juice I have ever tasted, it also highlighted for me all the reasons why I am so passionate about local food production: community building, food security, low fossil fuel consumption, good ol’ back to nature outdoor time. We ground and pressed the apples outside under an apple tree, sheltered from the rain that otherwise would have sent us running indoors. It was so magical to work in that setting, noticing the shifts in the weather….

    Day 3 of Rifflandia is about to begin and while I will be posting images shortly from tons of incredibly talented bands that are playing Riff this year, this post is dedicated to The Flaming Lips.

    What a fun project this was! Look at all those fabulous faces. This was a spur of the moment, thrown together in a day project that I just love!
