Farm Jam 2021- The Year After COVID

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.

Kelly had to nurse the goji berries back from a hard winter. We’re still searching for the perfect spot to put the strawberries. This year we had ground nests in them so we had no great opportunity to get to the berries.The ones we do find are tiny. We got a sandwich bag of hascaps. Lots of plumb and apples, cherries and a few grapes

Farm Jam 2019

Hi there friends and family,

Farm Jam 2019 will be on Saturday July 20th this year.

Location to farm Jam 2019 can be found on our website, as always. Visit the website to see last year’s event. It was lots of fun. Thanks to neighbour Jeff for the drone videos.

We invite all to bring their singing and playing talents of all levels to give it a shot on stage in the quonset. From beginners to so called experts are welcome to participate.

Bring your campers or tents for the weekend. We will supply hot dogs and burgers on Saturday night. We also supply power, out house and a spot for your bottles if required. Cherries will probably be ripe by then and feel free to pick a few.

Hope to see you there,
Malcolm.
