About The Farm

  122 CORSON Newsletter The calendar says it’s fall already and the colors emerging from the foliage are proof.  For us, it is a welcome time of the year.  We feel invigorated by the cooler temperatures and the tastes of this season like winter squash and roasted onions, just seem to hit the mark.  We’ve…

A new year, and a new phase beginning for us.  It’s official: we have sold our Beech Hill home, a home we have lived in for 27 years, longer than anywhere else in our lives.  We are happy, sad, happy.  Happy to be moving to a place on Corson Road we have held close to…

The calendar doesn’t say it is winter, but it certainly looks and feels like it. Bob has been working in the woods cutting next year’s firewood and Mary has been starting her winter art projects.

Those muggy, humid days of mid-summer are upon us bringing moist air that the winter squash, corn and tomatoes thrive upon.  Summer squash and zucchini are picked daily and if missed, they turn into baseball bats within 24 hrs.  The winter wheat is ripening into a beautiful gold and contrasts brilliantly against the late planted…

As many of you know I was born and grew up in Eastport.  The 4th of July, or Independence Day, has special meaning for that town and this year marks a major milestone in history of the State of Maine.  Many of you may know that Eastport was captured by the British in July 11th…
