From farm to table, we meet up with Andre from Greenbelt farms along with his daughter at Chartier restaurant in Beaumont.

Chocolate chip happiness, mixed with a dash of warm hugs combined with great conversation between friends; the perfect recipe for a lovely afternoon with fellow mom and blogger Kari Skelton.

Whether it’s dance class, that late meeting, carpool duty or even just crawling through traffic, families have never been busier.

It was a bright and sunny drive to Greenbelt Farms located moments outside Wainwright. Cela and I sang country tunes most of the way, and counted canola fields.

The sun beamed into The Ruby Apron kitchen through a bank of windows at the back of the home, that looked out onto a backyard oasis full of lush greenery, a soothing waterfall feature, and planters brimming with edible goodness.

Our excitement mounted as we drove up the gravel path to Sunworks farm.  My mom, who was visiting from Newfoundland, joined Cela and me on our first visit to the organic farm.

A recent trip out to Birchwood Meadows to connect with Local Designer Cory Christopher, really-inspired me to take a more mindful approach to eating with Cela.

Growing up, raspberries, currents, cherries and gooseberries covered my Grandmother’s property in Newfoundland. As a little girl, we’d snack while playing, even having neighbourhood cherry picking parties.
