Shawn the Apprentice
Shawn Cottreau arrived on Sunday to undertake a 3 month internship with us. He is currently a student at NSAC (Nova Scotia Agricultural College) where he is studying Horticulture.
Shawn plans to have his own farm one day, so has been making the most of each opportunity here to try out harvesting, planting, mulching, testing out our new potato planter/digger (a WONDERFUL new tool that took the back pain out of planting potatoes), trying different methods of seeding salad greens and was even interviewed for the CBC TV news about what it was like to be an apprentice.
Within the next few weeks he will be taking on the responsibility for an area of the farm such as a greenhouse or a crop in order to really get to understand everything there is to know about it. We’re expecting great things of him:-)
