Strawberries are still a few weeks away but don't forget we have our own small pick your own field. That is 100% chemical free. It is a little wild, as no chemicals, and not enough man hours, meant the weeds won a few battles this Spring.

When Alvin purchase the farm in 1957 it came with a large established rhubarb patch. Over the years Jodie and Alvin transplanted crowns to different locations on the farm creating more smaller patches. This past spring we transplanted more crowns as well, to create larger patches.

These antique farming machines, a potato planter, bean thrasher, and root tumbler are headed to be archived at the Skowhegan Fair. We were so grateful they could find a purpose beyond taking space in the barn for the last 30+ years.
Exciting to see more changes to come. M
