    Learning to See

    By Anne Leslie on November 24, 2019

    Seventh-graders from Camden Rockport Middle School in Camden, Maine, were poking around Chewonki recently, notebooks in hand. What was most noticeable about them was how intently they were looking. They quietly scrutinized the farm animals, the November forest, and the shoreline.  Camden Rockport Middle School is among the schools with whom Chewonki Outdoor Classroom works,…

    The Bairn of the Barn

    By Cullen McGough on May 23, 2019

    Frisking, frolicking, snoozing, testing the limits of their mother’s patience, entertaining us each day as they grow before our eyes–spring brings baby animals to Salt Marsh Farm, and as predictable as the season itself, we fall in love with them. Fifteen lambs and a new bull calf are the latest additions to Chewonki Neck. Here’s…

    Farm Physics vs. Farm Physiques

    By Anne Leslie on May 23, 2019

    Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Chewonki

    ACCEPTISSI SITIS AD CENAM ROMANAM!

    By Anne Leslie on December 7, 2018

    Each semester, there are typically a small handful of Latin students at Maine Coast Semester. What they lack in numbers, they make up for in die-hard fanaticism.

At the time of her death, she was attended by her long-time veterinarian and the farmers who worked with her – and loved her – every day. Sal was 22 years old….

    By Cullen McGough on September 28, 2018
