Nate
Community Blogger & Farm Geek
I am a full time Dad, Husband, Videographer and Farm Geek! I live in South Windham and I am passionate about organic farming. I have 2 acres of land, 6 chickens and a HUGE garden! My wife and I try to grow as much fresh produce as we can for ourselves and our two girls. We are members of MOFGA, the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. I like to write about organic farming methods in general and how we try to use them on our land. You may even find that I occaisionally wax philosophical about my beloved tractors! See you around town!
