Seeker Details

Past and Present Farming Experience:

My wife and I have been raising chickens and gardening for 8 years. We would like to purchase a farm to move our family to, and practice regenerative agriculture. If you want to talk about selling your farm to a family that has lived in Maine our whole lives, and intend to keep it that way, please reach out.
