Boy, if those walls could talk. The web site has an update on the Historic Log Chute, being reconstructed under the direction of Carol Moffatt and Tony Aymong. Carol's upbeat and enthusiastic writing style makes the web site a lot of fun to visit.

Here's a bit of her story: "Waverley Brook Farm off Old Donald Rd., near the village of Haliburton, is where the Tyler family have owned three lots of the fourth concession of Dysart for the past four generations. We have been organic since 1995 as part of our transition to a simpler lifestyle on the land. After the second year of being organic, we were able to live primarily off what the land produced with crops in three seasons. The winter season provided tree harvest for saw logs and firewood. In spring we harvested maple syrup, making it available year round to our customers. In the summer and into the fall we have the CSA (Community Shared Agriculture) organic produce. We also have animals year round: rare-breed Kerry cows, chickens, cats, a dog and bees, with plans to expand with Llama, and sheep as well as other interesting animals."</div> <div> http://<A HREF="http://www.haliburtoncooperative.on.ca/resource/farming.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.haliburtoncooperative.on.ca/r"><U>www.haliburtoncooperative.on.ca/resource/farming.html</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="2d55b480.gif" border=0 width="347" height="72" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>Haliburton County Community Cooperative:</B>  "We are a non-profit community co-operative working forthe benefit of our members and the social, economic, cultural and</div> <div> environmental development of Haliburton County."
