Nina Fuller lives in my native state of Maine where she raises a small flock of sheep on her farm in Hollis. I grew up in Harpswell which is about 60 miles up the coast. In fact, she mentions Harpswell in this segment.
Nina also is an accomplished photographer. Check out her brilliant work here.
Nina's is a true explorer and lifeling learner. Who gets into sheep farming in her 60's? Nina does. Oh, and, she also has a master's degree in counseling pschology.
Farms and ranches vary in scale. My friend, Sarah, visited a ranch in South America last year which managed 20,000 sheep. Nina has about 40, along with horses, on her 35 acres.
Each year, she swears she's going to scale down, but it can be hard to part with ewes when you know them well, name them, and develop histories with.
