Our philosophy is real nutrition, real food, not only in everything we grow and eat, but in our recipes as well. For us, it’s not just about “organic;” it’s about “transcending organic.” We pride ourselves in farming diversified, practicing biodynamic farming, permaculture as well as common sense. Our farm has many aspects (orchards, grapes, bees, livestock) and each harmonizes with the other. We live off the grid, getting our power from the sun and from the wind as well. We eat what we grow, grow what we eat and are in tuned with the natural world around us. We’ve learned how to make do with less, and question what the “experts” tell us. We experiment with projects (solar, rain water, grazing) and ways to make our lives more comfortable without a big price tag or big carbon footprint.
Our blog,
Homesteading In Maine tells about many aspects of our lives as well recipes for home cooking. Honey takes place of most of our sugar needs. Most recipes are easily converted-just use roughly half the amount of honey to sugar in a recipe. It’s fun to experiment.
We have put together a small booklet of recipes we’ve created using honey, ranging from beverages to desserts, and offer it for sale here.
