"WE NEED TO GROW FARMERS" | First Generation Ranchers share their story.

We made it to Bigelow Fields Bison Ranch in Langton, Maine — perfectly situated between Rangeley and Stratton. We sat down with first-generation owners and operators Nicole and Michael Weaver for a real conversation about what it actually takes to build a farm from scratch. They share the unfiltered truth: the beautiful parts, the heartbreaking and devastating parts, and why we desperately need more people willing to become farmers. As Nicole put it, consumers have the power to “put wind in the sails of a farmer who may be completely depleted… one person sharing their appreciation for you and what you’re doing has the power to get that farmer through another month.” You’ll see the stunning Maine scenery, a quick spin around the ranch, family road-trip moments (yes, the “are we there yet?” crew is along for the ride), and that classic Yanasa TV look at resilient, first-generation ranchers doing the hard work.
