Truly it is a time of thanksgiving, and a time of feeling welcomed by those who live here. With native Maine blood running rather thinly in our veins, we were nervous about how the neighbors might feel about outsiders moving into their neighborhood, but their kindness and welcome has quickly dispelled our fears.
In this first week on the farm, as we have been cleaning the farmhouse, installing a mailbox by the road, finding a wood stove via Craigslist and mapping out the garden plots, we have been visited by several neighbors who related their Fancy Farm memories and connections, and offered us help in numerous ways. It is good to feel the kindness and support of the community!
