Join us for a Gather & Grow tour at a 6-acre multigenerational homestead in Nobleboro, Maine! In this year’s Gather & Grow series, garden tour hosts will share information about their gardening practices in general, and through the lens of climate change adaptation.<\/p>\n

About the homestead:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join Sam and Kim for a tour of their thoughtfully restored 6-acre homestead, centered on growing nutrient-dense food and building a resilient, regenerative lifestyle. After moving full-time to midcoast Maine in the spring of 2021, they took on a long-abandoned property and, over the past five years, have brought it back to life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today, the homestead supports a diverse range of systems. Sheep are raised for meat, dairy, and fiber, with a focus on rotational grazing to rebuild soil health and revitalize pastures. Pigs and chickens are pasture-raised, contributing to both the farm\u2019s productivity and ecological balance. Visitors will see no-till market gardens and a kitchen garden that provide an abundance of vegetables throughout the growing season. This harvest is preserved and stored in a traditional root cellar, supporting year-round nourishment. The homestead also includes fruit trees, beekeeping, and established herb gardens, all contributing to a holistic, nutrient-dense food system. Rounding out the farm\u2019s infrastructure is a recently installed grid-tied solar array, providing renewable electricity and supporting the homestead\u2019s long-term sustainability. This tour offers a grounded look at the process of restoring land, building soil, and creating a productive, multi-generational homestead from the ground up.<\/p>\n

There will be a boot wash on-site, for livestock biosecurity purposes.<\/p>\n
