Description
Organic Status: MOFGA Certified Berry, Mixed Vegetables, Fruit and Salad Greens since 2003

We are a small raspberry, orchard, mixed green and vegetable farm in Kennebec County, East Vassalboro Maine. We have a 26 year old son, 22 year old daughter and 20 year old daughter. Our land backs up to the outlet stream of China Lake. We are within walking distance of store, library, church (Quaker, Methodist or Baptist), China Lake boat landing, sports fields and Grange Hall. The bicycling and fishing in the area are well known. We are 30 miles (42km) from the ocean. Our farm has been in and out of our family since 1906. Our farm house has a large kitchen living area with an available bedroom bathroom in the winter and a larger living quarters from April to October. We operate a small farmers market on Saturday at the farm and sell most berries to health food stores locally and on the coast. We also maintain a local CSA that distributes food Saturdays off the farm. Colby College, Thomas College, UMA and the Maine State Capital are 9 miles away for broader entertainment. Occasional opportunity to visit other organic farms or MOFGA workshops.

I was with the family from Dec 13 to Jan 12 and absolutely enjoyed my stay with them. I originally signed up for 3 weeks but midway extended it for an additional week which they didn't mind at all.

Bernie and Jody are masters in the art of hospitality. They offered to pick me up from the bus station in a nearby town (and drove me back as well… read more when I was leaving at the godly hour of 6am). My month with them was well sprinkled with lots of lively extracurricular activities. I was taken to places like the Waterville Opera House for a poetry reading, a community church play, Christmas Eve service at a big church in Augusta, various hikes and walks, Lights Aglow show at the Coastal Botanical Garden (high on my bucket list!), Belfast by the Bay New Year's Celebration, and we had a movie theater marathon. They made me feel part of their family when they introduced me to their extended family in Damariscotta and elsewhere, and invited me to the Grange Christmas party. I also took advantage of the bikes they had available to do some further exploring on my own. [Also, if you're interested in contra-dancing this is the right place for you for sure.]

The work schedule was very flexible, 5.5 hours Mon-Sat (with the holidays and Sundays off) at any reasonable time, and the work varied from pruning, raking, feeding the chickens to organizing, doing house chores, making dried herb packets. Communication on their part was excellent in regards to what needed to be done, either clearly stated or written down on a cute whiteboard if they happened to leave earlier than I had woken up on some days.

On top of that, the food was delicious. I'm a vegan and I honestly feel that every effort was made to accommodate my diet. Utensils were kept separated when cooking and they let me know when something contained dairy, meat, or eggs. Even when we went out for a family dinner, either Bernie or Jody would point out what was vegan and what wasn't. Jody made lavish vegan bread, Bernie made yummy squash dessert, Gillian made great vegan chocolate chip cookies, and Hattie let me use her juicer and blender (Danke!). I made some great smoothies, juices, and desserts using many of the ingredients grown on their farm or from local sources. The family is very aware about special dietary needs. I think even a raw vegan can thrive here.

This was a fantastic first workaway experience! Maine is a beautiful state with fresh air, millions of evergreen pine trees, roosters crowing - a world away from New York City. I hope to be back someday. Thank you so much for all your generosity and for hosting me, Bernie, Jody, Hattie, Gillian (and Finn in spirit)!

She also did her work with… read more

Bernie and Jodie are lovely people. Despite the harsh winter, Maine has a beautiful area and I'm very happy to have shared two weeks with them on the farm. They have helped me and facilitated as much as possible my stay there and for me has been learning in many ways. Thanks !!!!

Thanks Jody and Bernie for having me. I had a great time at the farm and got the oppurtunity to learn about organic farming. You really have a great thing going on and I wish you all the best. I am glad I had some great volunteers to work with and it was amazing spending time with them and your children that have made my stay even better.

Jasper was with us several weeks. He is intelligent, capable, willing and makes rather wonderful tea. Most of all Jasper was a quick learner and had a natural curiosity that made working on the farm a bit of fun for us all. We would recommend him for further Work Away hosts. He is welcome back to the farm any time
