I’d been saving this story for some time now, but for various reasons I haven’t had a chance to follow through as much as I would have liked. So, what the hay, I’m going to write the story so far anyway. Back in the early spring - think no greenery yet, the odd patch of dirty snow here and there, a bit of weak sunlight - I pulled up to one of the last Blockhouse Farmer Markets for the season. (Blockhouse runs its market over the winter months for those of you not here on the South Shore.)
Thanks, Gary. Oddly enough, the other night I was thinking of you, back in Ottawa just before White Juan hit. Undoubtedly, the memory was triggered as I was reading Roy MacSkimiming's The Perilous Trade, in which Macfarlane Walter & Ross figures, of course.
Very nice, Charles. Hope you're feeling well.

Enjoyed the Montana story and to know that such farms are still an option in NS.
Nice piece, Charles!
