We usually have a lot of fun! We have chickens busting their butts making eggs. We provide supper for the night (burgers and hotdogs).
BRING YOUR OWN BANJO OR MUSICAL INSTRUMENT! Many family and friends feel like they’re musically inclined and love to put on a jam session. If this is also you, bring your musical talent!
*** PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH MALCOLM OR DIANE, IF YOU’RE COMING. SO WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH FOOD TO BUY ****
Dave, Brenda, Megan, Paul and the boys (Joe and Sam), Bruce, and Mira were the first brave souls out on Friday night. Just in time for Jeff to roll up with his 7/11 on wheels. Lime Slushies, cold iced tea, and water with a mini-ice machine. It wouldn’t be Farm Fam Jam without all the bells and whistles.
Saturday more family and friends started to trickle in as the day wore on and so did the food.
Egg salad sandwiches and different sides for lunch.
Drew was on the BBQ serving hamburgers and hotdogs for supper. Uncle Paul cooked a juicy, tender, smoked brisket.
Food started to pile up on the table, coming from everyone! Chicken wings, mashed potatoes, potato salad, Quinoa salad, baked beans, vegetable plates, dips and so much more. It was the battle of the crisps (apple and rhubarb) and cake for dessert.
The jam session started only to be cut short by a heavy downfall of rain with strong winds. We all huddled in the Quonset for cover while Drew continued to BBQ.
The blue skies returned when the rain let up, and so did the band. After it got dark enough the guys set off fireworks, only to be challenged by fireworks miles away to the northeast.
The night petered out with people sitting around the fire.
The following day the adults had first breakfast at the crack of dawn, while the younger crowd woke up later (10:30 am) for second breakfast. The kids had fun playing in the parachute, kiddie pool, and with the Foosball table. Throughout the day people left with hugs and handshakes.
ANOTHER GREAT YEAR! WE HOPE YOU ALL COME AGAIN NEXT YEAR!
Farm jam is Saturday, July 30th this year. We will supply burgers and hotdogs for supper. Also outhouse and water. Power will be on a first-come-first service. Bring your tents or camper. Join us for the on-stage jam.
The year after COVID. We didn’t get many pictures. It’s like we wanted to see people with our eyes instead of through a camera lens for once!
Malcolm Rice, David Rice, Bruce Rice in the S.S Tippy, and Ryder (The only dramatic one this weekend).
It was a great FARM/ FAM Jam. WE HAD BABIES! You know we are close to the end of the COVID epidemic when babies can leave the house!
Adam & Jenna had their little one out along with Raje and Mike. Aunties and grand aunties we’re loving it!
The Boiler Room Boys & friends hosted by Malcolm Rice plays the main stage.
Drew cooked up a storm again. There was of course so much food and so many aunties to make sure you ate that food. Lots of people left with leftovers (goodie bags of food) or eggs.
It was a good group of people (Claudia and Bernie didn’t get that camper they were going to look at in the morning. the table bed was too small)
Most of the 35- 45-year-olds made it out of bed by 9 am. Their parents were still disgusted with them for sleeping in. Breakfast was already over.
Tents were set up and taken down. Every time it was funny and a family event.
What do you call 12 Rice’s setting up a tent?
Friday night entertainment. TAKING IT DOWN SUNDAY…EVEN FUNNIER. (Someone send the video please).
The pigs made their debut by being the smelliest of the evening.

Farm Jam 2018 was smaller than usual but more fun than ever!
There was a small group at Farm Jam 2018 this year, but a lot of newcomers! We were happy to see Beth and Laurier(Sp?), Auntie Kate(from South Korea), Billie, Kendra, Cousin Danielle and family, cousin Gerry and family and of course all the regulars. There were a lot of kids which is always fun when the gocart is in action.
We’re always happy to have people out, But nobody took home CHERRIES and/or SWISS CHARD lol. It was a good event. Thank you to everyone who came out. If you have pictures send them!

Bring your campers or tents out. Set up on Friday if you like and leave Sunday if you like. You may just come out on Saturday evening. Visit with family and friends.
New this year we introduced tent alley! It was the perfect solution to having the tents out in the blistering sun. The trees made shade and a perfect wind tunnel to keep everyone cool. But you had to look out because it was in the middle of the go-kart track
A little fewer people than last year, It was still a blast..and a new stage!
