Join us for a community potluck to kick off the summer @ Smithereen Farm in downeasternmost Maine.

Reserve a camping spot ahead of time on Hipcamp.

We'll see you there!

We are tickled pinker than pink by the prospect of a electronic set by DJ trouble of WFMU.
Time to test out the acoustics in Reversing Hall, our new speaker system for an early season dance party. We will serve blueberry power smoothies so that we can stay up late dancing and still get up early to go harvest seaweed! We also have a concept for applying linseed oil and tung oil to the beautiful wooden walls of the hall while we are dancing.  

Seaweed, clams, and all the rest! Harvesting, drying, recipes, ecology, and natural history adventures in the low low tides. Downeast Maine is famous for our 22 foot tides. And the cold Labrador current creates extraordinary algal abundance. Join Kacie Lopato (She Sells Seaweed), her harvest friend Paba, Severine, and Lydia (Seaweed Commons) for a Full moon time spring tide ! These are the low low lows that let us access the subtidal algae.

We will cover the ecology and biology of the seaweed ecosystem, hand-harvest techniques, regulations, drying, processing and culmination of the wild algae species that abound in our area. Perhaps Jon Levitt will come dig clams with us.
