Last Friday, I visited Rosy Farms, about 45 minutes northwest of Edmonton, to u-pick haskap berries. What are haskaps? Watch this mini-mini doc to learn all about these "hot" new prairie berries. (Picking season lasts till mid August.) #yeg #yegfood #SenCa #AGFO
My haskaps have all been baked into muffins, churned into homemade ice cream, eaten fresh on cereal, or popped in the freezer. They are a delicate berry, and don't last. But that's OK. You'll want to eat them ASAP anyway. (Sorry, I forgot to share with you all.)
(I shot the video myself, sans tripod. Thank goodness the new iPhone 13 minimizes jiggle. And thank you to @PawanSMinhas of my staff, who transformed my video and photos into this lovely little piece.)
I love chocolate. Many people do. If you are a person that loves chocolate, drop what you are doing and go immediately to Ch. Cafeteria in @GrovenorYEG. (I know they are closed now but you can get in line).

Sarah, Diego, Nadia, and Victor are the owners and they are from Mexico City. They opened Ch. Cafeteria in October 2020.
Sarah, featured in the picture, told me that they wanted to create a chocolate store that had the best chocolate you have ever tasted in a casual environment.

She was absolutely right about the quality of the chocolate. I bought some coconut chocolate, a chocolate chai drink, and some chocolate truffles.
I’ve eaten a lot of chocolate in my life and it was some of the best chocolate I have ever had.

I did not think that I would be beekeeping 🐝 in January but was contacted by a family that spotted a wild honeybee colony in a tree 🌲 toppled by Tuesday’s Snow Squall 💨

I was teaching a bee course and wasn’t able to check out the honeybees until this morning - so the family went back and covered the exposed colony with a blanket and tarp.
Yay, family!!

The bees made their home in a hollow cavity at the base of an old spruce tree. They looked like they’d been there for 3 or 4 years.
Unfortunately, the rot that created the cavity undermined the structural integrity of the tree.

#yeg residents can’t get to the grocery store. So instead, the grocery is coming to them.
I’m not talking shop and click. These are honest-to-goodness, pick apples off the cart shops carrying produce at less than supermarket prices.

It’s being run as a social enterprise to deliver fresh fruit and vegetables into the heart of Edmonton’s food deserts.
It’s a concept that’s already taken off in Calgary.
Fresh Routes Calgary now trucks veggies to 60 different locations, partnering with H&W Produce & others.
