A glimpse into our life as we live locally and sustainably and gradually create our farm and business.
About Me
- Maine Mom
- I am a mom of three children; trying to evolve, living locally and sustainably, and putting my MS to use, one ecological footprint at a time. I am a Native New Englander with a sense of wonder that began at a young age watching sunsets with my mother. I pass this on to my children and am preserving our family history in the process.
