Watermelon & Friends at Broadfork Farms

On a sunny autumn day, we pulled up next to an old wooden farmhouse in Nova Scotia.  To our right, beyond a wall of stacked firewood, was a group of people sitting in the shade, eating watermelon. 

The Birthplace of New Scotland

After we hopped on the ferry to leave the beautiful shores of PEI, we landed in Pictou, Nova Scotia, a place where many Scottish immigrants also landed by boat in 1773.  Pictou is now known as the “Birthplace of New Scotland.”
