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. All the animals seem to be quite happy with the weather. The sheep have been growing nice wool coats for…

Winter wants to come early this year. As we write this, we have 6″ of fresh snow since after midnight. Although we have been preparing for snow, it always seems to come as a surprise. We weren’t anticipating quite so much, but it’s early in the season and the snow may come and go several…

The sunsets at 122 Corson have been breathtaking as we leave the summer months and move into the cooler nights and mornings of fall. The sunset last Saturday night seemed to go on and on.

As we witness the last vestiges of summer, we are reminded of the many wonderful experiences we have enjoyed through conversations with new and repeat diners who have become friends.  What constantly amazes us is the people we meet at the restaurant who have such fascinating lives and share with us their friendship and more….

2018 is the year of the dog in the Chinese zodiac.  While we don’t follow the Chinese calendar, every year we declare it a year of something.  The criteria are simple: it is whatever strikes us on the farm as being particularly abundant, beautiful, or noteworthy.  This year we have decided that it is the…

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…

122 CORSON…AN ON FARM DINING EXPERIENCE After a successful sourdough bread baking cooking class last Sunday, we’re all fired up and re-enthused about baking with our home-grown wheat.  The flavor is unsurpassed when the berries are milled minutes before dough preparation.  Our fall-planted heritage wheat is growing extremely well and it looks like we will…
