On today's episode of Two Rock Radio, Jeff and Steph sit down to talk about some new adventures that Steph has delved into: Cheese making and bacon making! As well as taking you through a bit more personal travel goals for themselves this year and in the coming years.

Shoutouts made to many many Maine businesses in this episode including: Washington General Store, Hope General Store, Lincolnville General, Savage Oaks Winery ( RIP ), Brodis Blueberries, Sweetgrass Winery, The Pour Farm and many more. Jeff, Steph and their families all strive to support local businesses and build relationships within their communities. A special shoutout to Old Time Donuts of Damariscotta, a family owned donut shop run by Steph's cousins, Mark and Candice, as well as their children.

Visit some of the State Parks and Ocean Front Experiences on a trip to Maine this summer: Damariscotta Lake State Park ( great for kids! ), Pemaquid Beach, Rockland Breakwater ( great for ocean views ), Lake Saint George State Park, Birch Point State Park ( a.k.a Lucia Beach ), and more!

Though the farm is their home, the state of Maine is where they feel most at home, but as with so many of us travel is part of a core human experience. Whatever changes this may bring for Two Rock Radio will be taken in stride and I wish them all the best. Much love, your daughter and editor, Anna

To the "List of People" that helped out, called, checked in, daily when Jeff broke his foot during the winter, Jeff and Steph both are very thankful for all of your help and company through Jeff's recovery in one of the busiest seasons on the farm. A special shoutout to Mike, their son, who helped Steph to roof the sap shack.
