Times are tough for dreamers but Brian Smith and his wife Allie have managed to defy the blue-screened modernity to create an edenic pocket dimension in rural Warren, Maine.  Fixated on embodying what was best in the pre industrial world, they’ve built a polyculture farm with a focus on community.  Brian delivers produce to the nearby town of Rockland in a literal horse carriage from 1937 and they host pizza parties and live music in a charming little space they built up recently.  They grow a small patch of cold climate hybrid grapes, an orchard of cider apples, vegetables and livestock all intentegrated together and mutually supporting.  The agriculture is purely organic, they write: “Farming without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers is the way of the past and the way of the future.”  The wines and ciders are similarly old school in style, unpretentious and priced to reflect their belief that wine is for the people!
