My family lives on and are caretakers of a 240-acre farm with house and barn in Livermore Falls, Maine owned by the Record family. We moved here in August of 2011 after I graduated from the Muskie School of Public Service. Originally, we intended to just homestead. Then, I started raising a small number of sheep to supply our family and friends with meat and fleece and for our daughter to show in 4-H. I switched from regular grain to an all-natural, non-GMO grain two years ago. Our pastures are organic though not certified. In 2017, I became a Journey Person with the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. We will be transitioning to certified organic over the next three years.
