A blustery cold farm update. 🥶

Hello everyone! Just dropping by to update everyone on our farm shenanigans.

It has been a long, cold winter. Going into the fall we had brought on a farm manager and was working towards a full launch spring with several hands on deck.

We have slowed with the frozen ground and taken a long look within and realized we were rapidly straying from the original vision. Thus we have shifted our plans to refocus on the original goals. We will be moving our lovely farm stand along to another loving home rather than full launching it, our heard of lovely ladies have also found beautiful green pastures just a hop and skip from here to another micro dairy that is much better suited for their needs. We enjoy our weekly visits with them and picking up our fresh milk from their beautiful sprawling farm. Their new family has so much experience and love for them we couldn’t be happier, and neither could they! We anxiously await hearing the update on Miss Squeekys calf due to arrive soon. All the lovely ladies have new very fitting names and they are still along side their naughty pigs. Charolette and Wilbur also now have sprawling pastures with their cow companions.

What does this mean for us? Well we still have out amazing clan of birds for a plethora of eggs, bunny’s aglor and for pasture management we have Sweet Whinny our horse and the freeloading clan of goats.

This free time will allow me to focus on what the original image was. Family, simplicity and stewarding the land. We will be focusing on produce and flowers, our maple trees and continuing to work on infrastructure. Working on drainage and development of our family “compound” type arrangement.

One day we hope to welcome back the ladies in their retirement years and maybe a calf or two for our own personal sustainability but I realize that this takes a village- the entire village. So I am focusing on that village and that peace. Using the handful of years I have left to teach my kiddos the art of living a life of peace and sustainability before they fly the coop.

It is our goal to work for our community but one cannot pour from an empty cup and that matters.

We are happy to take orders for rabbits, offer produce and seasonal options as they come available from our humble seasonal stand and of course if you are in the market for farm fresh pork or the beloved fresh raw milk- I am more than happy to share the local farms information that our sweet girls are at so you can inquire about it (they also raise chickens and other farmmazing options!!)

Please enjoy this photo of Squall sniffing the camera from the fall.

Warmer days are on the way!

I think I need about a season sizes smaller. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Snicker rates this product Zero stars and prefers to be an elusive brat - unless she of course wants scritches.

Of our four ladies… Squally is a hairball. She looks like she jams out to My Chemical Romance and groans about having to turn into the barn at night when Sophie seems appropriate- saying she just doesn’t understand her.

Smh- teenagers… 🐮

❤️ Help Our Family & Fill Your Freezer, 2026 Heritage Guinea Hog Deposits Now Open 🐖

Friends, family, and neighbors, this year’s pig share launch isn’t just about food, it’s about family, community, and helping my dad heal.

A week ago, my dad was in a serious accident. He suffered multiple broken bones, needed surgery, and faces a long recovery. Our family has pulled together to care for him, taking time off work, traveling for medical care, and doing our best to keep the farm running in between.

So this year, we’re opening early deposits for our 2026 Heritage American Guinea Hog pork, not only to reserve your share of our delicious, pasture-raised meat but to help us cover the growing costs of care, travel, and lost work during this hard season.

💰 Deposit: $500 (applied to your half or whole share)

📦 Ready: Summer/Fall 2026
🌿 Raised: Naturally on pasture, orchard, and garden scraps, the way food should be.

Your deposit doesn’t just feed your family, it directly supports ours while my dad recovers. It helps keep feed in the bins, gas in the tank, and hope in our hearts.

Every share purchased is a hand reaching out, and we’ll never forget it. ❤️

🎁 Want to make an even bigger impact?
You can gift a share to a friend or family, and we’ll help coordinate delivery when harvest time comes.

➡️ Message us here on Facebook, text/call 207-242-5539 or check out here: https://square.link/u/Ufs28yHc to reserve your share.

🐷 Only a limited number of pigs are available from our upcoming litter, and every one counts toward helping Dad heal and keeping the farm afloat.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for caring, for supporting small farms, and for standing beside a Maine family in our hardest time.

🌻 Heritage Homestead of Maine
Sustainably raised, family supported, Maine proud.
