My folks need to
sell their place in Aroostook County. I spent my teen years there and if you like the cold....snowmobiling, skiing, dogsledding.....or like me when I lived there, hiding out for a few months and catching up on all the indoor projects guilt-free!
When I was growing up, we raised most of our own food....pigs,
chickens, goats for dairy and meat, a steer, and a big garden. Gleaning is the custom in the area, too, and it is common to carry pails in one's trunk and stop on the side of the road when you see a harvester working in a field. Lots of hunting and fishing year-round, too, with a large lake a few miles away and a catfish
pond within walking distance.
Bear, moose,
deer, rabbit, quail....don't forget the porcupines, too.
