Seeker Details

Past and Present Farming Experience:

I have worked at various fruit and vegetable farms around the state of Maine since the spring of 2020. I spent a summer at a homestead/blueberry operation up in Washington county, a winter growing brassicas in California, then a year in the Bangor area at a diversified vegetable operation with some chickens, then a year at a no-till farm in the Portland area. I am currently working at a diversified vegetable farm on Mt. Desert Island, where I hope to settle down with my partner, Nikki, who works for Friends of Acadia.
