Seeker Details

Past and Present Farming Experience:

We are currently working and living on a MOFGA certified organic farm in Washington County, Maine. We are involved and experienced in many aspects of the farm including daily animal care (large poultry flocks, pigs, and cows), poultry processing (slaughter, cuts, packaging, and deliveries), dairy (milking, bottling, cream, yougurt, cheese, and butter), as well as general farm maintenance, and farmers markets. We both aso have several years experience working as environmental educators in a farm and forest school.

In addition to teaching children and running various community and educational programs on the farm, we also are experienced in caring for the site (management, maintenance, development, and stewardship) the farm (seedling care, raised beds, crops, perennial gardens, honey bees, and maple sugaring), and the animals (laying hens, broilers, turkeys, ducks, goats, sheep, and pigs).
