A Day at The Amish Auction // Annual Consignment Auction // Smyrna, Maine

Tag along for a day full of auctioning off everything you can think of at the annual Amish consignment auction in Smyrna, Maine. It has become quite the social event for us... and sometimes we get a really good deal on something we didn't even know we needed :)
---------------------Welcome to Our Maine Homestead!
We moved onto 200 + acres of raw land in northern Maine in September of 2018. We’re building our off-grid homestead, literally, from the ground up with our own four hands.
Our goals are to share our simple, self-sufficient, and sustainable lifestyle using traditional, old fashioned on purpose, and natural methods the same way our grandparents, great grandparents, and those who came before them did.
Along the way we hope to pass on the best parts of this lifestyle to our daughters and to all of you. We want to share the experience of how we live and the challenges we face as we build our dream homestead, raising animals, growing our own food, and working on the many projects required to live this lifestyle.
We’ll show you, not necessarily how to do things, but how we do things. We’ll also share video series that go deeper into specific aspects of our lives and what it’s like to live the way we do in the 21st century.
There’s a saying, “There’s a first time for everything.” Here, there’s a first time for EVERYTHING, because almost everything we’re doing here, we’re doing for the first time.
While our life is simple, it’s not always easier. It’s a lot of hard work, but we were raised knowing that nothing worthwhile comes easy and as you’ll see there are way more positives than negatives.
Thanks for watching!

It looks like a great day was had by all! I especially liked the quick change transition with you and Emery. Reminded me of the original Wonder Woman TV series. 😁

That looks like fun! I don't live that far away and never knew about it!

I'm going to the amish auction north near the border tomorrow. I'm excited! I've been forbidden from buying anything living though! ;p

You definitely need to keep an eye on us…we were left unattended and bought a bunch of wheat berries. 😅
