Im back from the weekend at Glen's farm at Opal, a small town north of Edmonton. It was a pretty good experience and so different from the city lifestyle! This is the second farmstay that i've done in my entire life. The first one was in Brisbane when went with the BB but it was abit commercialised. Flach's farm is really a chill, laid-back north american farm that just focuses on Cattle.
I did pretty much, helped out abit with the feedling duties, opening the gates for the tractor to deliver the hay to the cows, fed a calf, went shooting and of course, demonstrated S'pore's cuisine and showcasing my culinary skills at the same time..
This is Glen's mum, Carol.
Mrs Flach was making supper for us when we arrived on friday night.
Look at the big kitchen!
Resembling breakfast a little, its tasty!
After supper, we played a game of pictionary with Glen's sister and her boyfriend. Tracy and Corey.
Heading out to the farm proper and helping out with some farming chores!
This is Lucky the sheepdog, no.. or rather.. the cowdog! Employee of the year. A cute and shy dog..
Did pretty well, shot some cans and cartons! Marksman in me still alive!
Lunch was prepared by Mrs Flach, we had buttered rice, chilli and meatloaf. This was before heating up the cheese.
It looks gorgeous once the cheese has melted! And the meatloaf is oh-so-good! Especially when u drown it with Hickory sauce!
Glen lured it over by squirting some milk periodically and called it over!
And I reaped the benefites by continue feeding it! I also patted its head. Quite cute and docile..
We went to the neighbouring town of Redwater to check out the town and he showed me the largest oil derrick in Alberta.
Glen let me drive his brand new Ford Ranger 4x4 Truck! It is in Manual Transmission and so driving left-hand drive manual is no joke! But this 4Litre truck is truly powerful and a joy to drive especially now that its manual.
Pre-coconut adding.
All in all, this was a great experience! Thanks to Glen and family!
