In 2004, following a Maine camping vacation, we sold our home in Massachusetts and moved the family to Maine. We built our modest dream home on 49 acres in Downeast Maine.
Today we are still finishing the house punch list and have moved on to other ventures including our own businesses – Shoestring Shipyard and Bennett Web & Design.
We’re developing a small family hobby farm where we can grow fruits and vegetables and raise a few chickens (18 so far – call me crazy), ducks and turkeys. This blog allows our family, scattered from Alaska to Pennsylvania, to follow our adventures. If you’re visiting by chance, feel free to hang out and browse. We hope you enjoy your visit!

Love your coop and site!! I live in Winter Harbor, ME. Whereabouts are you in the Downeast of things? (PS In my experience, I’m afraid little Pepper’s attitude is not apt to change much. If he is aggressive to humans now, not good. I found that the more heavy bodied roos, whether of bantie or standard size, are less cranky (cochins, brahmas etc) than the more Mediterranean narrow bodied guys.) Back when I was a 4H chicken mom, I adopted a hard rule, only friendly roosters allowed. Why have chickens if the delight in their antics turns to fear of attack? I hope your are doing well, take care!
