Seeker Details

Past and Present Farming Experience:

We are a Christian family of 7. We farmed in Kentucky for 5 years and unfortunately the area we were in turned to trouble. We moved back home to Ohio, and just don't want this city life. We are looking for a few acres to homestead and farm. We currently run a sourdough bread company and we are really hard workers. Maine seems like the place we want to raise our family.
