The Tumbling Farm Experience Oct 2008

On our trip back to BC Tony and I headed to the Okanagan for a few days with Kiran to visit the Tumbachs and Bovenzis... and we were received in style! The view from God's Mountain above Okanagan lake where we were treated to a gourmet, 5-course dinner from entirely local produce (except for the olives and olive oil). Wow and yum.





Amani, Rosebud and Moses triple-team Tony.




And then we butchered ducks. Celina put us straight to work on Monday morning, no holds barred: As a carnivore, it was a sobering experience well worth having. Especially seeing the reality of the best case scenario - duckies living in luxury, happily quacking away and toddling down to the pond and considering the other end of the spectrum.



...our valiant men carry out the slaughter...




...plucking away...



I think I'll spare you the evisceration - Kiran, Theresa and Celina, I'll email you the gorey bits...
