In 2017, after many years working on small organic farms in the midwest, I bought a piece of land in the Downeast Maine woods and began my homesteading adventure. I was a dreamer, determined to make my family’s lifestyle as self-sufficient and inspired by nature as possible. By choosing one skill at a time to dive into, I gradually gained a great proficiency at self reliance and I can’t wait to pass that along to you! Over the years, people have said to me “I wish I knew how to knit!” or “Can you come show me how to graft my apple trees?” or “That’s so cool that you can make your own cheese!”. I truly believe that anyone can do these things and more, with the right guidance and some hands on experience. By introducing these skills into our lifestyles we create a connection with history, nature, and our community, as well an inherent pride in our own ability to provide for ourselves. I am always on a quest to learn how to do more, and know the world will be a better place when I pass my knowledge on to you. Get out there and make stuff!
