Garlic Scapes & Destination Zero

Garlic Scapes & Destination Zero

On this episode of Two Rock Radio, it's all about garlic scapes, garlic, alums and destination zero of the travel itinerary: Damariscotta, Maine! Jeff and Steph are chatting, as always, sharing their farming experiences, knowledge and have now added a new segment to detail often missed and overlooked places to visit in the Midcoast Maine area.


We hope that you enjoyed this first edition of Jeff and Steph Travel Maine which, may or may not, in the future, take on a life of it's own outside of this podcast. For now, from all of us at Two Rock Ridge. Happy Farming and thank you for listening!

Cheese!, Bacon!, & Podcast Updates! Oh my!

Cheese!, Bacon!, & Podcast Updates! Oh my!

On today's episode of Two Rock Radio, Jeff and Steph sit down to talk about some new adventures that Steph has delved into: Cheese making and bacon making! As well as taking you through a bit more personal travel goals for themselves this year and in the coming years.


Shoutouts made to many many Maine businesses in this episode including: Washington General Store, Hope General Store, Lincolnville General, Savage Oaks Winery ( RIP ), Brodis Blueberries, Sweetgrass Winery, The Pour Farm and many more. Jeff, Steph and their families all strive to support local businesses and build relationships within their communities. A special shoutout to Old Time Donuts of Damariscotta, a family owned donut shop run by Steph's cousins, Mark and Candice, as well as their children.


Visit some of the State Parks and Ocean Front Experiences on a trip to Maine this summer: Damariscotta Lake State Park ( great for kids! ), Pemaquid Beach, Rockland Breakwater ( great for ocean views ), Lake Saint George State Park, Birch Point State Park ( a.k.a Lucia Beach ), and more!


Though the farm is their home, the state of Maine is where they feel most at home, but as with so many of us travel is part of a core human experience. Whatever changes this may bring for Two Rock Radio will be taken in stride and I wish them all the best. Much love, your daughter and editor, Anna

New Lessons Learned

On this belated episode of Two Rock Radio, Jeff and Steph come to you during a late season snowstorm to talk about a few unexpected struggles they've had to face in late February and throughout March of this year, namely, Jeff's broken foot.

A special shoutout to Mike, their son, who helped Steph to roof the sap shack.
