The Maine event

The last time we were in Maine, two years ago, to visit with Jon we had a great time! We helped him on the farm he was working on and we drove up the coast to Acadia National Park. This year has been even better! It has been great to see the community that Jon has around him. And also see the progress he has made as a farmer -- his produce is awesome! Other than helping him on the farm, here are some of the other things we have done since coming to Maine:

The Common Ground Fair. Run by MOFGA (Maine Organics Farmers and Gardeners Association), it is a annual event that showcases farmers and artisans from all over the state of Maine.

Roof raising. Friends of Jon's had a work party to raise part of the roof of the barn they had built. It was defiantly more party than work. In less than an hours time the peaks where up and the food came out! Garden fresh salsa and soups, and homemade pizza! YUM.

Duck-pin bowling. This is WAY more challenging than ten-pin bowling, but it was fun none the less.
