Our 42 acre homestead is located in Brighton Plantation on Rt. 151. We have five acres of garden and fruit orchard. A large organic garden for eating, preserving, and market. We raise poultry for meat and eggs, do maple sugaring in the spring. We have a small bee-keeping operation, and a wood lot which provides our heat and building materials. We are semi- solar powered.
not the best place to learn about communal living, farming full circle ground to market successfully. they just use you as farm labor and profit 100% on product and profit, and are just hobby farmers, who told us that you make "zero dollars on your taxes farming, and cant make it as small farmers because of coporate market subsidies"This experience tried to teach us hopelessness and failed economics, so I wouldn't recommend it, because there are places that offer small farmers hope, and successfull diversified cooperative modles like Flamig Farm in Connecticut, Deer Isle Hostel, Maine, Burdock community gathering in starks, local sprouts cooperative in portland and many more. much peace,
