Darryl&Rita Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 This is aimed at Dave Larue, and Rickeieio, specifically, but is open to any other travellers. If there's interest in a farm visit and lunch out, we have contacts to a medium size farm locally. It's a grain operation, running around 50 quarter sections. I've got some other contacts for other day trips, some involving fermented grains. Let us know if there's any interest.

Darryl&Rita Posted June 9 Author Report Share Posted June 9 We got contacts involving distilled grain products, too. Not that skunky bourbon, mind you. Mostly Canadian Rye whiskey, along with some birch tree Gin, and some kinda Vodka. We got us an airport, so as not to exclude the more sedentary members.

rickeieio Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 We'll eventually get there. We're currently in South Dakota, and plan to move to North Dakota in a few days. It'll likely be another 10 days or more before we wander in to Grande Prairie. So, a medium size farm is 8,000 acres? That's huge by my standards. At my peak, I only farmed 990, with an average field size of 32 acres. The "fermented grains" sounds interesting. Not being a bourbon fan, the rye sounds nice.

Darryl&Rita Posted June 10 Author Report Share Posted June 10 Well, their neighbours happen to be a couple Hutterite colonies, so... I might be wrong on their total acreage, but I think I'm close. As you get further from the farm, I don't want you to forget words like rhizome, and Post-emergent. I think you've sampled Crown Royal, in all it's varieties, but that's a Rye set for an American taste. Most of the Ryes I used to prefer weren't as sweet, and had a fuller taste. All of our local micro-distilleries have award winning labels in various world competitions, so we're pretty proud of them. I think they all have a brandy style liqueur based on a local fruit, the Saskatoon. We got lots to entertain around here.

rickeieio Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 We're running a little behind where I thought we might be. We're in Moose Jaw at the moment. We're (hopefully) getting the refrigerator repaired in the morning, then may stop in Saskatoon in the afternoon to visit an old motorcycle friend. Likely roll into Grande Prairie Thursday-ish.

rickeieio Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Yessir. We are indeed here in Whitecourt. Stayed last night just west of Lloydminster. Lawrence, aren't you somewhere near Edmonton? Traffic and construction there was not fun.
