Our farm is nestled on 11 acres of mainly forested land in rural, artistic Midcoast Maine (a 20 minute scenic drive from the coast). We focus on chemical-free bees, poultry, medicinal herbs, berries and perennial pollinator gardens. We have a large Tibetan garlic crop and operate a commercial high tunnel. WWOOFers can expect to help tend to the birds, bees, gardens, guest rooms and landscape (including stonework). Current accommodations include a wwoofer dorm room in the barn with cooktop and mini fridge, queen bed and dining table, propane outdoor shower and outdoor toilet. We also have a Tentrr campsite that is used for the park exchange when not rented. I currently host guests on AirBnb and offer Reiki and Herbal Medicine from a full apothecary at home and at the Farmer's Market. My approach to farming is that it is a sacred practice. I have three daughters ages 3, 8, and 10. My diet is gluten free, but we can accommodate the dietary needs of any guest. We are located across the street from the local swimming hole, so why not jump in on a hot day after working on the farm? Maine offers so much natural beauty to explore!I hope to pair helpers with roughly 20 hours of work a week that motivates and piques their own interests in sustainable organic farming and lifestyle.
