Building a family farm, working the land and providing for ourselves.
Day Begins
"As the leaves blow in the cool fall air, I am reminded that winter will soon be here. The hay is stored in the barn, the firewood in the shed, and meat and produce preserved, I feel secure. My family sleeps as I kindle a fire in the cookstove. The kitchen warms. Fresh eggs and milk, bacon for breakfast. I am a father, husband, farmer, hunter and provider. Another day has begun." RW

Sap is running
Mother nature has blessed us with two great sap runs here in Maine. We collected 90 gallons on Friday and 110 gallons today. All together that should produce about 5 gallons of finished syrup. Looks like tomorrow could be just as good.
Thanks for hosting us a few weeks ago at Juniper Hill Farm. The kids, all of them, were so cute! Looking forward to reading more about what is happening at the farm.
