Good rich, wholesome, nutrient and vitamin loaded Maine farm vegetables, fruits, meats.

Nothing is more important than having enough of the right natural Maine food to put on the family dinner table.

To fuel those you love, hold near and dear close.

But where the food comes from. How it is grown. And the scare of factory farms that are bigger and bigger, but who knows where on the planet has many making changes.

Turning to the simple Maine lifestyle for their three times a day addiction.

Home grown food, produce and critters providing vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, milk products, wood raised on your own Maine land is not so novel.

Not that many years ago, most of us were all Maine farmers.

Living on properties with more than just a back yard and surrounded by acreage. Spray herbicides, fungicide chemicals, additives like gases, and genetically altered seed strains make you wonder if those all add up to one big Cancer trigger.  That is why outfits like the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners group are a neat bunch of agriculturists on the right track for healthier living.

To get a taste of making some major changes in your over booked, complicated unhealthy run run run life, circle in red September 23rd through the 25th on your personal calendar. That is the weekend of the Common Ground Country Fair in Unity Maine.

You are toying with buying some Maine waterfront property, a listing on say a lake and what about the dock, wharf?

 You want to have a structure to lash your motorboat, party pontoon barge, seadoo jet ski, canoe, kayak to.

But worry about the shoreland zoning regulations in Maine.

The rules with a Maine lake wharf is it has to be temporary. Well with Maine winters, ice on that lake and the damage that would happen if you did not remove the wharf or dock from the water makes it obvious what you need to do.

Get it out of the water, the Maine lake before Jack Frost and Old Man Maine Winter do their handiwork on the dock, wharf.

Same applies to the Maine lake float the kids swim out to.

Pull it in for the winter months.

Also, putting reflectors on the long docks, wharfs that are needed when the water is pretty shallow. And you need more lengths of docks, wharfs to get out where the Maine lake is deep enough to bring the boat in. The solar lights that recharge themselves are a safety option too.

Maine lakes, ponds total over 2500 and add in another 1000 plus rivers, streams, brooks.

That is a lot of Maine waterfront property.

And it is clean, not crowded.

Unspoiled too the further north you trek in to Maine.

The cost of the Maine waterfront decreases proportionately to the mileage going the other way, racking up on your car dash.

All this translates in to the further in to Vacationland you go, the more private, the less populated and lower cost the Maine waterfront real estate.

And instead of being a few cottages or camp sites back with a right of way, in northern Maine you are parked right on the edge of the lake.

As you look for Maine waterfront, something on a lake, river, pond or the oceanfront, the size of your recreational and investment wallet comes in to play. And what your idea of fun on the Maine waterfront is. If ice fishing, jet skiing, sailing, are playing on the mental projector now showing, splashing on the inside wall of your head, larger Maine lakes are needed.
