Magnificent Hill

The last 12 days I spent at Magnificent Hill as a WWOOFer. For all of you who don't know about WWOOFing, let me explain: WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) is an organization which you can join if you want either stay yourself on farms or be a host for WWOOFers. It is an exchange of working on the farm for food and accommodation - well, it's actually more than that...

It's about meeting people, making friends, learning how different farmers with completely different concepts manage the day.

Magnificent Hill is a farm that deserves its name. It is located on a beautiful hill, surrounded by a huge forest.

On my first night, an awesome dinner waited for us in the brand new outside oven, consisting of roasted potatoes and squash, homemade Hot Sauce and a huge salad.

 Daily work was about feeding animals (there are chickens, pigs, goats and ducks), harvesting, building the outside kitchen, doing preserves, ...
But every single day was full of new stuff to do, there wasn't much repetition at all.

For 3 days there was a school class from southern Ontario to visit the farm. One evening we made original Italian Pizza in the oven:

 

Nearly everything on this pizza comes from the farm: the dough is homemade, so is the pizza sauce from own tomatoes and all the other veggies on top come from the farm.

I suggest any Work & Traveler who is interested in WWOOFing to go to Magnificent Hill, you can have an awesome time there! Just visit the website of Magnificent Hill

There is so much more to tell, but I've got no more time.

Today, September 20, is the first day of our road trip. We will head to the East and I have no idea when I can write the next post, so just have a look at my blog once in a while.
