Seeker Details

Past and Present Farming Experience:

We have been farming livestock for over 30 years. We were born and raised in CT, and moved to Maine in 2021 where we continued to farm. In 2024 we chose to move back to CT to be closer to family. Sadly, we are finding it difficult to farm and survive here, and miss Maine terribly so we are looking at the possibilities to come back.

Types Of Enterprises Considered:

Beef

Livestock

Poultry

Business Plan and/or future farming vision and goals:

Yes. We currently raise beef, pork, chicken and lamb for sale as well as eggs. We also have a large garden every year where we sell fresh produce and can items for sale. We also own a cottage kitchen where we sell various baked goods. We have many years of doing all of these as well as a love for education so having a farm that I could teach others to farm would be wonderful!
