  1. Hi Sonja,
    I meet Sean the other night at work, FCM.

    I'm so excited to see a local person working the land like you folks are, you rock!!

    Please feel free to join me on Facebook at "Bangor Chicken Swap" You can advertise your farm and products there for free.

    Also we will be holding monthly swaps at the Bangor Tractor Supply April - Sept 2013, the 2nd Saturday of each month. It will be free to set up a table and sell/promote your goods.

    I too am not a huge fan of this weather but I would LOVE to visit you, Sean and your farm in the spring.

    I'm located in Prospect, I have 2 horses and 5 breeds of chickens, hoping to add more this spring. I garden as well and make some soaps and candles.

    Wishing you a safe, warm and successful 2013!!!!
