Welcome to the Wilder Farm Log

We’ve been meaning to start writing things down for a while now. Not instructions or advice — just honest notes from a small farm in Maine.

This is where we’ll share what’s happening in the fields: what’s growing, what surprised us, what failed, and what we’re trying next. Expect harvest updates, the occasional recipe, and glimpses of daily life on a working farm.

If you’d like to follow along, sign up for our newsletter below. We only write when there’s something worth saying.
