Springtime in Maine

Like you might expect Maine weather is never predictable nor dependable. Sunny days when rain is forecasted and rain when, well rain quite often. The pastures are still a bit soggy but the clearing/cleaning project for our east pasture is moving at a brisk pace. The cows and calves have been moved to a temporary oval pasture in the west mainly because they've been bawling for grass...and Jimmo and Lolabell made a late afternoon escape for the fresh spring clover.

The Bowdoinham Farmer's Market begins May 23 and we will have lamb meat products, eggs, and wool. The market is located in the Merrymeeting Grange at 27 Main Street and is open from 9 - 1. For more information of other vendors go to: http://www.bowdoinham.com/farmersmarket

Return to Maine



After having traveled the states for a number of years working at various farms for various stints and attending artist-in-residence programs I am planning my return to Maine at the beginning of May. With sketch books filled with art and farm related ideas the second stage of Apple Creek Farm is about to start. There are many unknowns, exciting opportunities, and challenges waiting in the spring thaw.
