In 2015 Kirsten Lie-Nielsen and Patrick Jackson moved to Hostile Valley Farm, a one-hundred-acre homestead located in rural Liberty, Maine. The farm had been abandoned for the past several decades, and years of our love and labor were needed to restore it to a working farm and thriving ecosystem.

 

Today amidst green pastures our orchards are thriving, and our farm provides us with an opportunity to help inspire Maine growers to embrace the land and find ways to sustainably farm through climate change.
