Farmer-ish is a new ‘home’ for farmers to tell their stories

BANGOR METRO • April 29, 2021

Crystal Sands couldn’t find a home for her words. With over two decades as a writing teacher and freelancer under her belt, she was no stranger to the publishing world. But as she increasingly wanted to write about her connection to the land, she found a void in the publishing world. Sands and her family have lived in Eddington on a homestead, Sands End Farm, for the last 10 years. Sands and her husband, Ronald, decided to start their own publication, Farmer-ish, a quarterly online journal that publishes essays, poems, recipes and art about farming and homesteading life, all told by farmers.
