SUMMARY:Gather & Grow Tour: A 6-Acre Multi-Generational Homestead in Midcoast Maine
DESCRIPTION: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. About the homestead: 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.  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’s 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’s infrastructure is a recently installed grid-tied solar array\, providing renewable electricity and supporting the homestead’s 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. There will be a boot wash on-site\, for livestock biosecurity purposes.
