We went back to Maine to see our mentor & favorite farmer friend, Jim Kovaleski! We decided that we needed to grab a few more shots for our upcoming online course & scheduled it just right so that we could be able to attend Common Ground during the same trip! (This is our 2nd time in attendance.)
Every fall, approximately 70,000 people come out to attend the Common Ground County Fair in Unity, Maine. This fair has been run with consecutive success by the great folks at MOFGA (Maine Organic Farmers & Gardeners Association.) In this video, Jim demonstrates the proper scything form & answers questions from the participants for his favorite company, Scythe Supply.

Jim has been a pivotal role model of ours since 2011, not long after we first began to grow food. We can truly say that he was a big catalyst for change in our lives & we owe the foundation of our success to Jim's influence. Now it is your turn to spend a week with Jim, at your own pleasure.

While a considerable amount of content will be offered to everyone, we are working to create an epic video course that is geared towards those who are looking for a more in-depth focus. The foundations of the content are beneficial for everyone, regardless of climate, but just to be transparent - we will also be offering an extended version for our fellow Florida residents, once Jim travels back down in October.

Grass-Fed Vegetables
Apples, Blueberries, Raspberries & Many More Cold Climate Fruits

____________________________________________________________________
Each year in late spring, Jim travels up to a little town just outside Eastport, Maine, to grow the most delicious, clean & vibrant food you can find. Then in early fall, he packs up & heads down to Florida to repeat the same plan.
Jim does not follow rules, He creates his own evolving adaptations; a mixture of pure refined classic agriculture (the scythe), techniques passed along by elder growers, elements from books that have proven their worth & the intrensic download from living with the land & slowing down enough to read it's own suggestions.
