Sterling Gardens

The kids and I went to Whidby Island for the day to visit Steve and Sara's new farm. I love Whidby, everywhere you drive you see beautiful scenery, the population seems like just the right mix of small town friendly mixed with bourgois gourmet, and there are some great experiences for children. It was a physically tough day for me because Leo is crawling and standing and can't just be plopped on a blanket anymore. We were all tired on the way home but that didn't stop us from getting out of the car to visit the windy deck on the 15 minute ferry ride home.
Sterling Gardens (my favorite name in the running for their farm) is a gorgeous piece of property with two homes, a huge garden brimming with produce and the beginnings of an animal shelter which will house goats and a donkey. We can't wait to see Sterling Gardens sparkle!
