In 2018, Matt Horwitz-Lee and his family left their life in Baltimore, Maryland, to be closer to his ailing father and were thankfully able to be there for him when he passed.

The pandemic arrived soonafter and, with his wife’s family already living in Maine, they chose to take a chance on Stockton Springs.

Many of us living in Maine are familiar with the heaviness of spirit that is colloquially known as “the winter blues.” For some, these seasonal shifts in mood begin to creep in as early as September or October – when day length first begins to ebb in our Northern Hemisphere – and don’t fully lift until the light has returned in earnest in April or May.

The bird population in the United States and Canada has declined by almost 30% — a total loss of 3 billion birds — worldwide since 1970, with habitat loss as a driving force. 75% of the world’s coffee is farmed with practices that actively destroy forest habitat and when forests disappear, migratory songbirds disappear, too.

Autumn is such a poignant time of year, as the vibrant life energy of summer begins to fade into the darker and more contemplative cool-weather seasons. For many, autumn evokes a feeling of grief and foreboding and is barely more than a signifier of the long and imminent winter beginning to close in. Fall happens to be my favorite season for a number of reasons. I do begin to grieve the warmth and vibrancy of summer as it slips away, but am also made all the more conscious of its value and the ephemeral beauty of the natural world around us by its dramatic retreat.
The people who work with wild blueberries are referred to as stewards, and they use best practices handed down through generations of caretaking to tend to the barrens. Maine is the leading producer of wild blueberries in the United States, with approximately 47,600 acres of blueberry barrens being managed on 512 farms statewide. The Passamaquoddy and Wabanki people were some of the first to harvest wild blueberries thousands of years ago and these fruits are of great cultural significance to the Tribes.
Summer in Maine has arrived in all her glory. On the heels of a mild winter (thanks in part to the El Niño weather phenomena) climate experts predict that the country has begun to transition into a different weather phenomena: La Niña. Typically, when these two weather phenomena begin a transition from one to another, it can put an entire region into a holding pattern of atmospheric conditions. Unfortunately for Mainers, this holding pattern means an unusually humid, hot summer, with temperatures predicted to stay between 60-80% higher than average and precipitation expected to be between 40-50% higher. In the words of the Farmers’ Almanac, we’re in for a “sultry and soggy” one. In an effort to stay safe and comfortable while also prioritizing energy efficiency, we’ve put together some useful tips for making the most of the (practically tropical) cards we’ve been dealt this year.
The terms “biodegradable” and “compostable” are often used interchangeably, but there are some key differences worth noting. While everything that is compostable is technically biodegradable, not everything that is
