Welcome to My Farm Girl Adventures

  Hello, from a New England farm girl and mom of four boys. I have to admit that I am more muck boots than lipstick, but what farm girl doesn't like to throw on some cowgirl boots, a cute dress, and then add some lipstick to camoflauge the recent hours of grueling labor in the barn or the hay field? I grew up on a dairy farm in Maine started by my grampa in 1966. I just could not tear myself away from this life and so here I am. When you are born with farming in your blood there is no escaping it! I am here for life with lots of big dreams for our little farm. We raise a lot of different livestock, from dairy cows and goats, to meat chickens, turkeys, and pigs. Beef critters, horses, and laying hens also grace the landscape. Many years we have had bees, and I hope this year to add ducks again, and also wish to start meat rabbits as a new venture. Our goal is self-sufficient living with any excess being sold for income. I run a vegetable C.S.A. and really enjoy my customers. Our little family farm is powered by a team of Belgian work horses. Most of our field work is carried out by faithful friends, Kate and Buck. This brings about a lot of curiosity from those passing by. I hope to eventually offer old fashioned sleigh rides to customers who wish for the magical experience. Right now I am in search of the perfect sleigh. So much to do and so little time! Also, as if we're not busy enough, we are building a log cabin mortgage free. This means lots of salvaging and enormous amounts of physical labor. More dreams coming true....
   I invite you to join me on my farm girl adventures. From field work to building projects and from goat kids to human kids. There is never a dull moment!
