    Hi,
    I am very interested in learning to work draft animals. I worked on a couple of harvest crews and had an internship this summer on organic CSA farms. After learning to use tractors I really wanted to see the idea of sustainability taken a step further and use draft animals instead. I recently moved to Monmouth, ME. I am looking for either learning opportunities or work. I am willing for the work to be logging with draft animals, as opposed to farming, as it is something I am also interested in and I imagine some of the skills could transfer back to farming. My main limitation is that the opportunity would have to be near where I live now. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I am familiar with MOFGA, I went to the Commonground fair last weekend and saw some of the low impact forestry talks, though I should have tried to network more. I think I will try to go to that weekend, thanks.
