Elderslie Farm is a small farm near Kechi which has a farm to table restaurant and café, a creamery, blackberry picking, and a sawmill and custom woodworking studio.  The owner, George Elder, led a private tour of the farm, focusing on the sawmill and woodworking shop.  Our group got to see exactly how the sawmill worked and George provided some fascinating insights into local tree harvesting and how certain types of wood are targeted for specific uses.  Following a walk-through of the woodworking shop, the group then headed over to the dining room.  In the dining room we had the opportunity to sample a variety of cheeses which are also made right there on the farm, while George answered numerous questions about how the farm operated.
