About

I live in a world where farming, nature, and the arts go hand in hand. I want to share this world with others.

My husband and I live in beautiful Maine where we raise animals, a garden, and a family. Together, my husband and I make Sands End Farm possible–from raising chickens to growing a garden with a large enough harvest that it helps support our family through fall, winter, and spring.

Both my husband and I also write; our oldest is a writer, and our youngest is a cellist. There are four things we love in this world: each other, farming, writing, and music. I write stories about our chickens. My husband writes poetry about the Earth. We listen to classical music while we work in the garden.

Farming has helped change my life in many ways. I have a deeper understanding of where food comes from and how much work it takes to raise and grow it. As such, I have become a more thankful human. I have also become a more frugal human, as I have learned to live a more simple, sustainable lifestyle.

Farmer-ish is a creative dream for me, but I want it to be more than that. I want to help others develop a deep understanding and love of farming and farmers and learn how they can live more sustainably themselves. I have been teaching writing for nearly 30 years and farming with my husband for nearly 15. I have published about a dozen books and many articles, but I find that I work best when I am helping other writers share their voices with the world. This journal gives me a chance to share my passion for good writing on meaningful topics with others.
