The straw has arrived!





We wait eagerly as the farmer backs his trailer full of switch-grass bales to our house.

Mr. Norman Caron's farm is in St-Timothe, about 25 minutes away. He grows several varieties of switch-grass (a grass native to our area) for homes like ours, and as biomass for pellet stoves.







We begin the back-breaking work of unloading the bales and pile them in the house.
