Adrienne Lee
Coming home to Maine after studying agroecology and sustainable agriculture at the University of California at Santa Cruz, Adrienne apprenticed and worked on farms across Maine for 8 years before starting New Beat Farm with Ken in 2008. She aspires to build it as close as she can to a self-sustaining agroecosystem, which produces not only healthy and nutrient rich crops, but healthy soils and a vibrant farm ecosystem.
Ken Lamson
Ken grew up milking cows, stacking hay, and running wild on several Maine dairy farms. After college and ten years “away,” he returned to Maine and was introduced to organic vegetable farming. After an apprenticeship at a horse-powered veggie farm, he knew horses had to be a part of his future. The relationship he has established with New Beat Farm’s draft animals not only helps it be more energy efficient, it adds a certain rhythm and awareness to farming that creates a more balanced way of life.
