Participants will learn an overview of techniques, and important considerations for implementing these practices and will see how a Maine farm has employed some of these methods to fit the scale and goal of their farm.<\/p>\n<p>Ian Jerolmack is the <i>co-owner<\/i><i> of Stonecipher Farm.\u00a0Started in 2009, Stonecipher Farm is a certified organic mixed vegetable farm, dabbling in livestock and fruit, while focusing on storage vegetables, and tropicals such as ginger and turmeric. Year-round, and dedicated to their customers; Ian Jerolmack and Emily Goodchild serve many health food stores, but have made a real name for themselves serving all the best restaurants of Portland, as well as mid-coast Maine. Due to the coronavirus, the farmers were forced to pivot, launched a CSA, and now sell a lot to other farms.\u00a0With 5 kids in tow, they farm full-time, and employ 5 full-time folks in summer, and 2 in winter. They have an acre of greenhouse space and are hoping to work more in there, really maximize the shoulder seasons, and maybe one day, take it easier in the summer. They started the farm on blank land, and the longer they are there, the more the entire project pleases them, as trees grow, the land improves, buildings are finished and employees come back. Ian and Emily feel this place is growing a legacy, and hope to help that carry on to their kids, for the perpetual benefit of the community.<\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">Candi Gilpatric (NRCS) is a<i>\u00a0graduate of UMaine with a BS in Agricultural Engineering.\u00a0 Candi grew up on a livestock farm in Western New York along Lake Ontario.\u00a0 She came to Maine for college and has never left.\u00a0Candi started with NRCS as a work-study student.\u00a0Upon graduation, she became a full-time employee assisting the engineer in the Bangor area.\u00a0In 1992 the agency moved her to Lewiston where she assisted the Southern Maine area engineer until his retirement.\u00a0She currently provides engineering to the Southern 8 counties of Maine with assistance from Abel Cardona-Villeneuva.\u00a0 Candi always enjoys teaching and has instructed trainings for NRCS across the nation over her 30 years of service.\u00a0 She still instructs locally to new NRCS hires in Maine and at district workshops.\u00a0 When not working Candi enjoys time with her family upta camp.<\/i><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/umaine-extension.formtitan.com\/ftproject\/events?eventid=a1cUy00000189lV\" style=\"text-transform:none;\" ><span class=\"button\"> Register Online <\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong><a id=\"Tax Implications for Farm Transitions\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">Tax Implications for Farm Transitions<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"8045\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8045 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"Shepherd in hay field.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-105x79.jpeg 105w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-317x238.jpeg 317w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-423x317.jpeg 423w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-634x476.jpeg 634w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-846x635.jpeg 846w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-951x713.jpeg 951w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-1268x951.jpeg 1268w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934-500x375.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/new-farmers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/04\/IMG_1934.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"image-attribution\">Chris Howard, UMaine Extension<\/span>Retired Farmer in a Maine Hay Field<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=f5t8ngQVQ8Q\"><strong>Tax Implications for Farm Transitions Webinar<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>(Click the title to view the recorded webinar.)<\/h3>\n<h3>Presenter: Mike Sciabarrasi, UNH Extension<\/h3>\n<p>Decisions regarding farm property transfer are critical in estate, retirement, and succession planning.

The presentation will also discuss USDA-NRCS assistance opportunities for urban agriculture.<\/p>\n<p><i>Carrick is working in a joint position with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and UMaine Extension as their urban agriculture professional.
