44.1km - Ile Perot, Qc - Windmill Point Farm
Offering a gamut of fruits and veggies (oooh organic potatoes)

They used to have an excuse for wrongfully giving me the non-desired publisac. The happy delivery would be tossed from the street onto my front porch.
Now however for the past two weeks they’ve placed said ’sac of satan’ right onto my mailbox.

Maybe I should make a bigger sign with more english on it?? […]

First radio interview today (for those who will listen, please be gentle and try not to laugh too hard) on Radio 940AM with Natasha Hall on her weekly show “What’s Up, Montreal?“. You can listen live with their webcast.
