Who are we?
Seek-No-Further Farmstead is a small farm and homestead run by Angela Baglione and Lisa Kalan. We raise mixed vegetables year round, encourage tulips to bloom a little earlier than usual, and try to give our small herd of dairy goats the best life imaginable.
We moved to Maine in 2018. After meeting at Green Mountain College (may it rest in peace) in 2010 and studying Sustainable Agriculture, we got our hands dirty working on many different farms all over the Northeast. We are happy to have found this special spot here in Monroe to grow on and call home.
Lisa Kalan (she/her)
Lisa is a lifelong animal lover and passionate home cook who has been farming since 2008. She grew up outside Philadelphia and still thinks it’s the most beautiful place on earth. She can most often be found avoiding people (it’s not personal!) either by hiding in her flower garden, spending time with the goats, or puttering away in the kitchen.
Angela Baglione (they/them)
Angela grew up on the south shore of Massachusetts in a family excited about hiking and identifying birds by their songs. They were first introduced to farming during a semester at the Chewonki Foundation in Wiscasset, ME, and have never been able to imagine living a “normal” life since. Angela is most enthusiastic about watering seedlings, discovering the first tiny pepper of the season, and sleeping.
Nina
Nina joined us in 2018 and now we can’t imagine life without her. Her jobs on the farm include catching voles, being naughty, jumping on people (see previous), chasing cats (ditto), and being cute. She loves catching snowballs and going for hikes with her humans. She is a very good girl.
