I'm an out-of-work restaurant hospitality professional /gourmet cook from Maine and I'm all about the farm-to-table experience. I have many years experience growing organic herbs, vegetables, cooking and eating fine Maine food. My plan/dream is a saltwater farm (or near water) I need a HUGE barn to do my community dinners, lobster bakes as well as weddings (for the $$$!) I do sell antiques, vintage and recycled furniture. My planning would include solar panels on all of the roofs to be economical and self-sufficient. Possibly a work-for rent situation to help employees and/or guests live and learn how to grow and cook healthy inexpensive meals and supply me with labor. I would use the 4-5 bedroom in the farm house as income rentals via (Air B&B) for additional $$$ income. Serving breakfasts with my farm-fresh eggs! I would of course partner with other local farmer/fishers for my seafood and dairy. I would hire locals for dining service, cooking, cleaning and pay them well $$$! I do have interest in a documentary or filming of our experiences of the farm. I'm sure people would find the farm life interesting! We can call the show "Life On The Farm"
PS. I have many years experience in advertising, social media, photography, writing, cooking, hospitality and gardening, (I do have tons of photos to show my work)

For the past three years we have raised meat rabbits on a large-scale operation (150-200 head). This operation includes an automatic watering system throughout the barn, which we designed ourselves, as well as a waste collection system. Additionally, this year we began bagging and selling the manure, which has been greatly beneficial to our farm.
Additionally, we raise coturnix quail for both eggs and meat, as well as chickens and ducks for the same purpose. This year we have also added angora rabbits, which we use for the fiber.
This is our third year raising hogs, which we currently raise on woodland.

We are a young homesteading couple with a winning attitude, a passion for the planet and our community. We have been maintaining nearly two acres of permaculture gardens and a micro orchard for the last five years. Our farming practices are completely organic and focused on bio sustainability and soil regeneration. Our philosophy also focuses on sharing our homesteading knowledge and the care-taking of local communities through the use of hands on self-reliance skills. Everyone should know how to tap a maple tree, make a loaf of bread and grow their own food.

I grew up on family dairy farm & milk hauling family in Pennsylvania. After death of grandparents was settled & family operations were dissolved I moved to Wisconsin & bought a farm. I'm lookin for a family style dairy farm in Maine that I also could start a small farm processing plant along with the dairy farm, Maine residents seems to have a very good relationship at supporting their small farms and farming communities.

I have been working on various farm types for my entire life. I have experience with horses, goats,sheep, pigs, cows, poultry, rabbits, and organic mixed vegetables. I attended the University of Maine in Orono for Sustainable Agriculture, where I ran the Black Bear Food Guild for one season, with one other female. We implemented several of my ideas for the farm, which helped it to make a large profit for the first time in it's existence. I did not finish my degree at UMO for various reasons, some which were out of my control, but I gained a lot of information while there. I have since been growing a small farm in Exeter, Maine. I grow mixed vegetables for a market and I also do duck and chicken eggs. I also have two horses that are pets, but also as grounds keepers, and manure compost suppliers. I have outgrown my current location, which I am currently renting, and would like to move to a larger piece of land where I can expand my operation and eventually go full time.

I have been farming for 7 years on a variety of organic farms. My most recent position was managing a 4 acre diversified vegetable operation with a 140 member CSA. Before that I spent multiple years focusing on livestock management and hope to find a farm where I can integrate livestock in with annual vegetables and orchards.
I am passionate about building healthy soils and believe in the importance of regenerative farming practices to improve the land so that it will continue to be resilient and productive for generations to come.

I am a disabled Navy SEAL Veteran practicing natural connections with the land by offering “Shinrin-yoku” or “Forest Therapy Walks”. Also, in collaboration with the land I work with and gentle horses. My farming interests are with herb gardening, fruit trees, bees and allowing the natural landscape to be as self-sustaining as possible utilizing certain German farming techniques; among others. I have dedicated the last 7 years to working with fellow Veterans by offering emotional, spiritual and environmental wellness connections with the land. Presently in search of a small piece of land individually or in collaboration with existing like-minded stewards.

I've known Rob Foley for more than ten years. He is my dear friend, my brother, and my colleague in helping veterans survive in a civilian world. A Navy SEAL, with a long list of extraordinary accomplishments in his years of service and afterwards. Rob has found his gifts are truly in the world of wellness practices, and, especially, in his work with horses and veterans. His dream is to have a farm as a healing sanctuary for fellow veterans, using all of his many healing gifts and practices.

I have been gardening and farming for over fifteen years. In 2006 I was a MOFGA apprentice at a permaculture homestead and tree nursery in Franklin, Maine. From there, I moved on to develop my own permaculture- focused homestead with gardens and livestock including poultry, dairy goats, honey bees, and meat rabbits, which I tended for 8 years. In 2013 I was accepted into the MOFGA Journeyperson program, initiating 4 growing seasons of running my own cut flower farm. I grew on a half acre and marketed to wholesale accounts, studio florists, farmer's market, CSA, and did wedding design. In addition to my own farm, I have worked on 2 other flower farms in Maine as co-manager and harvest crew. With over 20 years of self-study in herbalism, today I am interested in a dual approach: using permaculture and biodynamic methods to grow medicinal herbs and flowers, and building a pollinator and native plant sanctuary. My desire is to grow medicinals to sell to established herbalists in the state; to develop a native plant nursery for retail and wholesale sales; and to offer folks educational resources around the how's and why's of growing and maintaining native plants and their vital role in the web of life, particularly through the lens of pollinator habitat.
