Patrons of Husbandry – a website dedicated to the Granges located in Maine
Something about all those wind-fallen apples and skim milk and plumping up a pig.
Something about musicians sharing joy and song.
Something about old-time Maine humor at a live auction.
Something about fire and people and local food and cooking and eating.
