About this episode
City girl gone country! I moved to Alstead Center, NH from MA, in the fall of 1980. You have to be creative to "make it" here. Learning to; unfreeze plumbing pipes, get out of 18 inches of mud, drive up or down an icy hill with a rear wheel drive car, get lost and then found, has kept me here, and I am happy. The natural highs are plentiful and the neighbors are terrific, they come with a tractor to pull you out of that mud.
I raised my family here, met the love of my life, finished my Art degree at Keene State College, retired from cooking at Cheshire Medical Center and am currently working to revive our old organic farm. I have always grown plants and gardened. Scaling up to farming is not an easy progression, but I'm getting there!
