Yesterday afternoon we moved to another organic farm near Chiang Dao. We met with a man who works here and he gave us a ride from Chiang Mai to the farm. Things sure are different here sometimes. On the way we stopped at a convenience store where he bought snacks and beer then proceeded to drink a beer while driving down the highway. Don't panic Patricia. It was just one beer.
Today we began our volunteer work on the farm. It seems to be a much more relaxed pace than the last farm that we visited. The farm basically consists of a very large vegetable garden. The owner of the farm is from Michigan, and most of the produce that he chooses to grow is familiar vegetables that are in every North American supermarket. Although we both really enjoy learning about the local crops, perhaps at this farm we will learn more things that will be more useful for us back in Canada than the ability to prune banana trees.
