East Jordan

We learned about cold weather farming from other farmers. Before Bluestem Farm, we worked on a biodynamic farm outside St. Petersburg, Russia. Then a diversified organic raw-milk dairy in northern New England. Even when we lived in New York City, we kept chickens and had a container garden. We moved around a lot, but it looks like farming just kept following us.
