Community Blogger & Farm Geek
I am a full time Dad, Husband, Videographer and Farm Geek! I live in South Windham and I am passionate about organic farming. I have 2 acres of land, 6 chickens and a HUGE garden! My wife and I try to grow as much fresh produce as we can for ourselves and our two girls. We are members of MOFGA, the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. I like to write about organic farming methods in general and how we try to use them on our land. You may even find that I occaisionally wax philosophical about my beloved tractors! See you around town!

Bees - Dead! Sadly my bees did not make it through the winter. It's hard to say exactly why. Perhaps they were weak or diseased or perhaps the queen did not lay enough eggs to replace their numbers.... read more... |
