Two Farms
BY: Janet Galle
ABOUT THE BOOK: Two Farms is a visit to rural Maine, a place where you can still see the stars, savor the silence, and mark the seasons by the birth of a lamb or the arrival of snow on a "sugar-crystal January night."
Janet Galle wrote a monthly nature column for a local newspaper that delighted readers for 17 years. Based on her keen observations about the Maine woods, countryside and her family's two farms – first a saltwater farm in Brunswick and later Apple Creek Farm in Bowdoinham – her musings and anecdotes were a feast for those who have experienced the delights of rural Maine or for those who dream of doing so. Two Farms is a collection of those essays as well as new ones, covering such diverse topics as beloved pets and farm animals, child rearing, and nature's impact and influence in our lives.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Janet Galle, a naturalist, farmer, shepherd, teacher and mother, grew up in Indiana and moved to mid-coast Maine in 1963 with her husband. She has lived on two farms, one in Brunswick and one in Bowdoinham and she has taught high school English for 18 years. She and her husband, Pete, still live on their Bowdoinham farm. Two Farms is her second book. She also co-authored Exploring Ecology.
