The North Spore Mushroom Factory tour and Shiitake log inoculation demo is up on the Epic Gardening Channel: th-cam.com/video/51FoFWfx2BI/w-d-xo.html Part 2 of my Maine adventures will be up this Sunday on my channel!
I adore your outreach to other states and growing conditions! As a Mainer, I'm so happy that you got to experience Maine, and the lovely people. The winters aren't so bad, people help their neighbors. We'd get you through it!
Wild Maine blueberries are the best! I love that you vlogged on this and hope you can do more! I’m partial to New England myself but I love to see your perspectives!
I think we need more of this! From Jacque to Eric.. er, I mean Kevin 👀. Y’all’s trip to see Laura from Garden Answer was so awesome! I LOVE seeing the trips y’all take!😊🖤
What a fun fair! I'll have to remember that if I'm up in Maine. I love that there is an entire fiber arts tent. As a spinner I love it when the spinning wheels get some love like that!
Hi Jacques, we love your channel and so happy to see you were in Maine! My family moved to Maine from FL in August. I think you need to move to Maine so we can use your expert advice in our new garden this Spring! 😊
yes, Jacques, you do seem to have the Maine vibe down pat -- so maybe you'll be moving there eventually! Thanks for sharing all the great finds and for giving good shout-outs on their trash handling and the drinking water solution. Love the owl and chicken designs on the merch.
Wow, I just got back to Maine after a couple years away and missed MOFGA fest again. I love that you thought it was so special. As a girl from coastal south Texas, I think you could handle living here...just stay closer to the coast. Thanks for sharing.
I hope more people are compelled to visit the Common Ground Fair. It is an amazing thing. Thank you for shinning a light on a very over looked event. Cheers
We moved up to Maine zone 5A from Massachusetts zone 6B this summer The new school I teach t goes to the Common Ground Fair as a field trip and our lunch ladies serve local grown meats and produce. The fair is very kid friendly!
Yay! I grew up going to that fair, and it's so cool to see how much it's grown. I moved from Maine to California, and have been eating up your Cali content. I LOVED seeing you so happy and excited in my old stomping grounds! Thanks for the Maine representation!
That's no ordinary "fieldtrip", San Diego to Unity Maine? That's an "EPIC FIELDTRIP!" You were literally on the doorstep of Johnny's Seeds and Four Seasons Farm, run by Eliot Coleman. Pioneer in the field of market gardening organically. IIRC, the original premise was to grow veg needed in restaurants and produce departments, year-round, instead of having to import them in from warmer climates/countries. Fresh veg, in Maine, in the Winter months!!! Then take a ride up to Wood Prairie Farm for your spuds and seed needs. Oh, and our house, should you ever need a place to lay your head down. 😴 (Or you feel the need to experience the fine art of moving Winter precipitation around by hand.) 😲 lol
I could easily spend a week just visiting Four Seasons Farms, Wood Prairie, Acadia National Park, Vermont Compost Company (nearby), Johnny's, and Fedco! Next time I will try to squeeze in some extra time!
Jacques… this is like my favorite video ever on YT!! 🥰🥹 You have been so inspiring to me on my gardening journey. I am a lifelong and proud “Mainer” and also have been attending the Common Ground Fair almost ever year since a child. It’s a very special event for sure!! 💚 I am so so happy you had such a great time visiting and just know.. you are ALWAYS welcome here!! FYI.. the winters are really not that bad anymore..
I understand why Mainers are so proud to be Mainers! Everyone caring and being present for each other was very apparent. Also....You might be on to something with the winters not being as bad as they once were as sad as that is
Love this! So fun seeing you in my neck of the woods! Welcome to New England! I've been watching you and Kevin (Eric, lol) for years, but as a Massachusetts gardener, this is the first time I've seen you exploring what New England has to offer! hopefully we'll see more of you here in the future!
The winters are cold here but the spring, summer and fall make it worth it! Plus, there is nothing like curling up by the wood stove when it is negative numbers outside.
If you like that birch syrup you should try mugolio or pine cone syrup, great sub for maple syrup, if you have access to pine or any conifer tree and lack maple trees. Easy to make and delish!
@jacquesinthegarden it is really good. It is basically marinating green pinecone in equal parts brown sugar and granulated sugar. It is really a fermentation process. Put green pinecone in a jar, fill rest of jar with sugar. Amount will vary on size of jar or amount of pinecone just make sure they are covered. Let sit for at least 1 month. I let mine set for 1 year for a more complex flavor. When ready to use put entire jar in a pot on the stove. Heat on low heat to melt the sugar that has hardened at the top and make sure to use low heat so you don't destroy the vit c. It is high in vit. C. It used to be used as an elixir to help woth coughs etc. Also next tip. Use a wide mouth jar or one of those crocks meant for fermenting. Makes it easier to get the hardened sugar out. After sugar has melted strain and use. I love it on pancakes. 😋😋😋
Amazing video! You inspire all the viewers. Your true enthusiasm is what I love to watch. I have a north facing piece of ground next to house I have been looking at for mushroom growing and already saw your first video on mushroom growing. Ready for next video in Maine about mushrooms. If it wasn’t for your videos I would be slacking on the weekends 😂.
I LOVE MOFGA and the Common Ground Fair. I used to live in Maine and miss it so much. This makes me want to go back just for the fair! The owl is a Barred Owl. The T-shirt design each year is always highly anticipated, and not surprised they are collector’s items now. Mine are all worn out!
Thanks so much for sharing, that is a Barn Owl, we have them here in Santa Cruz and we have two wonderful apple trees. This is such an inspiring video!
What a fun time!! Thank you for bringing us along! You will have to visit the Baker Creek Fair in Missouri in May (I think) I would definitely come to meet you there!!
The Common Ground Fair hosts the largest farmer's market in Maine. Many growers plan their whole season around those three days. Some of them make over half of their annual sales at the fair.
I’ve lived about 25 minutes from the common ground fair my whole life, I think I’ve only missed one or two of them! Such a wonderful fair with such wonderful and knowledgeable people ❤ We were lucky enough to be a part of the fair this year as well! If you come again next year we bring our goats and do milking demos all weekend long 🐐 Also our winters are becoming quite mild so moving up this way might be in your future?
Jacques, I swear the Maine winters are not that bad (*coughcough*climate change is real*coughcough*). Maine is great! I'm glad you enjoyed Common Ground. It's always a highlight for me!! The owl in this year's design is a Barred Owl, and yes, they are very common in Maine :)
You are the third one to mention the winters being not that bad anymore! I really loved it up there and the people were all great too! Hopefully next year I can go up there and do some birding, I'd love the chance to see a Barred Owl
Maine in the inland mid coast region, like where the MOFGA Fair is located, has the same temperatures as in Delaware in 1980. No more brutal winters with heavy snow. I moved from Orange County California to Delaware in 1982 and the real problem now is that the summers are brutally hot and humid. Winter is a relief, cold but the ground no longer freezes.
Wow! Your in Maine! Welcome to the East Coast! I don't know why I'm so excited about that. Maine is at least 8 hours away from me. So you're not exactly in my backyard LOL. 😅😅
IF you DO move east coast (Maine, NH, Mass, etc), remember, it's a short drive away to see Niagara. AMAZING geology, there, too. We have such cool features, from glacial moraines (the entire land of Cape Cod!), to the huge granite formations in Niagara, to the White Mountains and the Kettle Ponds of New England, all worth a drive, once you get the East Coast garden setup!
I REALLY wish I had an extra day or two for driving around and just looking at things. Next time I am for sure going to Acadia national park that is for sure!
@@jacquesinthegarden Acadia's pretty cool! BTW, did you get a chance to get up to Wood Prairie Family Farms? See where the world's most awesome seed potato, and organic garlic comes from? It's quite the long haul... and on the border of Canada.
Nice tour. We have family there and frequently talk about their high bush blueberries and bear that attack bird feeder and groundhog that tears up their lawn and power outages. Apparently they like it. I’m surprised you didn’t go to Johnnys Seeds, Eliot Coleman Farm, Woodprairie potato farm or Fedco.
Central Illinois threshremans reunion always has cold water they give out for free, if you or the epic gardening team want a real experience visit pontiac Illinois during memorial day weekend to visit the threshermmans reunion. Shows old school blacksmith, tractors, and coal run saw mills, bandsaw, and threshing! How Americans separated grains and corn from stalks. I have grown up on this, but it is truly worth a documentary, plus a huge flea market/swap meet
So how about a diy hobbit hole with a grass/wheat roof? I’ve grown tromboncino, it’s quite prolific and even overwintered and started fruiting again. I think my climate might be a bit warmer than yours. (Southern Queensland Australia)
So @jacquesinthegarden I’m aware how Kevin from epicgarden got started into gardening, but what about You!? If you have a video, could you post a link to said Jacques In The Garden origin video? Or if you don’t, could you make one? Doesn’t have to be really long, I’m really impressed by your garden knowledge. Thanks.😊
I’m excited for you and all of the things you got to experience. Be careful with the birch syrup around your animals. Xylitol is from birch trees and is deadly to animals so I’d assume the syrup is similar. Thank you for sharing with us!!
We Mainers, especially on the coast, do not have real winters any more. Very little snow, pretty droughty actually, rarely below freezing during the day on and on in the climate changed world. Feel free to switch coasts, you'll be ok. :)
The North Spore Mushroom Factory tour and Shiitake log inoculation demo is up on the Epic Gardening Channel: th-cam.com/video/51FoFWfx2BI/w-d-xo.html
Part 2 of my Maine adventures will be up this Sunday on my channel!
Looking forward to it 😊
Love that you made it to Common Ground!
I met you that day! That was the highlight of my day and I am so glad you enjoyed our incredible fair!!
It was awesome to be there and I am happy we ran into each other!
As a Mainer myself, I am proud you came here!
I felt very welcomed and truly love what you guys have built over there!
Jacques, thanks for showing the trash/recycle system. I think that is so important to do right whenever there's a event like that.
I have never seen anyone try that hard to be mindful about waste and I am coming from California!
Mainer here. The Common Ground rocks! It gets better every year. So glad to see this ❤
I adore your outreach to other states and growing conditions! As a Mainer, I'm so happy that you got to experience Maine, and the lovely people. The winters aren't so bad, people help their neighbors. We'd get you through it!
That is what everyone keeps saying!
Thanks for taking us along on your trip, Jacques! I enjoyed it!😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Common Ground Fair really is such a special tradition. So happy to see you enjoy it as much as we do!
Jacques! You should do something like this in each state!
I could happily do this all year and not get bored haha!
Jacques so excited you came to Maine! Please come back soon!
I absolutely plan on returning next year!
Maine looks absolutely incredible, so glad you swapped coasts for a bit to check things out! I really enjoyed this video
It is all good vibes! I was lucky enough to be there at the start of the fall color change too which was amazing to see
You definitely seemed to be in your element, Jacques! Looks like you had a great time. Those wooden utensils were so cool!
I felt very at home and I can confirm both utensils have been getting great use in the kitchen!
This was really amazing, thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for watching
Love this kind of content from you Jacques! It's so nice to see you get excited and passionate about things you enjoy. More Jacques in the wild 😄
More to come!
The apples in Maine are amazing and so diverse.
Oh so excited to see one of may favorite gardeners in Maine. I live in Maine and MOGFA is a huge good presence here..
They really seem to care about Maine just like everyone I met!
Excited to see you in Maine! Glad you enjoyed it here
Loved this! Such good vibes. Thanks for taking us with you. Can't wait to see the veg and fruits that come from your new seeds!
Wild Maine blueberries are the best! I love that you vlogged on this and hope you can do more! I’m partial to New England myself but I love to see your perspectives!
I need to get up there for that wild blueberry harvest!
@@jacquesinthegarden
Maine is known for it’s blueberries and lilacs.
Jacques On The Road
I think we need more of this! From Jacque to Eric.. er, I mean Kevin 👀.
Y’all’s trip to see Laura from Garden Answer was so awesome! I LOVE seeing the trips y’all take!😊🖤
Next time duo road show?
What a fun fair! I'll have to remember that if I'm up in Maine. I love that there is an entire fiber arts tent. As a spinner I love it when the spinning wheels get some love like that!
Oh they were all spinning and inviting everyone to come listen and learn. It was very cool to see!
What a cool event! You’re such a garden nerd. I love it.
Haha I truly am a garden nerd
Hi Jacques, we love your channel and so happy to see you were in Maine! My family moved to Maine from FL in August. I think you need to move to Maine so we can use your expert advice in our new garden this Spring! 😊
Lucky for you Maine seems to have a great culture around gardening! Check out Elliot Coleman's books, he is the OG Organic Maine Garden/Farmer!
@ thanks for the info!
yes, Jacques, you do seem to have the Maine vibe down pat -- so maybe you'll be moving there eventually!
Thanks for sharing all the great finds and for giving good shout-outs on their trash handling and the drinking water solution.
Love the owl and chicken designs on the merch.
It was really cool to see a whole state seeming to care about it the state itself! In California everyone is mostly out for themselves first!
Wow, I just got back to Maine after a couple years away and missed MOFGA fest again. I love that you thought it was so special. As a girl from coastal south Texas, I think you could handle living here...just stay closer to the coast. Thanks for sharing.
If I ever end up there I will absolutely hug that coast haha.
Jacques your channel just gets more and more delightful! I love this
I hope more people are compelled to visit the Common Ground Fair. It is an amazing thing. Thank you for shinning a light on a very over looked event. Cheers
Very cool event for sure!
Glad you enjoyed Maine Jacques! New Englad is a wonderful place!
It is for sure a unique different place and I really enjoyed it!
We moved up to Maine zone 5A from Massachusetts zone 6B this summer The new school I teach t goes to the Common Ground Fair as a field trip and our lunch ladies serve local grown meats and produce. The fair is very kid friendly!
It was super kid friendly with that whole section dedicated to activities for them!
Yay! I grew up going to that fair, and it's so cool to see how much it's grown. I moved from Maine to California, and have been eating up your Cali content. I LOVED seeing you so happy and excited in my old stomping grounds! Thanks for the Maine representation!
It was very energizing, I am not sure why but I felt very at home!
Wow I really enjoyed this video, what a cool fair, thanks for taking us along.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for the fieldtrip! What an awesome perspective!
That's no ordinary "fieldtrip", San Diego to Unity Maine?
That's an "EPIC FIELDTRIP!"

10/10 he filmed a fantastic video!🖤

@@jacquesinthegarden That's awesome!
That’ll be a Barred Owl ❤
Such a majestic bird!
The winters are cold here but the spring, summer and fall make it worth it! Plus, there is nothing like curling up by the wood stove when it is negative numbers outside.
I would love a wood fire on a snowy day
What a wonderful trip! The artwork and print color on the shirts is amazing, grrat haul!!
The artwork was truly special!
If you like that birch syrup you should try mugolio or pine cone syrup, great sub for maple syrup, if you have access to pine or any conifer tree and lack maple trees. Easy to make and delish!
That sounds really delicious, I think I've seen people make that. Is it where you basically marinate pine cones in sugar?

Great to see you on a road trip. It looks like a great experience, and it was nice to hear from a local farmer.
Those totes!!! 😍
thanks for the fun tour Jacques ❤ You have some really cool mementos from your trip. Love it!!
Thanks for sharing Jacques... What a fantastic trip!!
Cool place. Looked like fun. 😊
Love it ❤❤❤
One of my favorite videos by you, by far! Looked like so much fun there, and now my boyfriend and I are semi planning a trip to Maine!
It is so beautiful... Especially in late September, check out the next video for more beauty!
I would love this! Your souvenirs are great too!
I LOVE MOFGA and the Common Ground Fair. I used to live in Maine and miss it so much. This makes me want to go back just for the fair! The owl is a Barred Owl. The T-shirt design each year is always highly anticipated, and not surprised they are collector’s items now. Mine are all worn out!
I am happy to have collected my first one for sure!
SO FUN!!!
Loved this episode so much💚. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing, that is a Barn Owl, we have them here in Santa Cruz and we have two wonderful apple trees. This is such an inspiring video!
Santa Cruz is a such a wonderful place for growing!
@@jacquesinthegarden It is a lovely place for a garden for sure! I love your channel, I learn so much!
welcome to the neighborhood. Greetings from NH
I need to checkout NH and VT next!
Wow wow wow! Loved the video so much 👍You have definitely given me a new vacation idea ☺️
My daughter went to this fair a few times on field trips with school. Really cool fair.
From Mass and love Maine, glad you enjoyed it.
I'm going to be trying to grow some highland rice 🌾 in the spring 😊
I bought some highland rice but never got around to planting! I hope you get a good harvest!
@@jacquesinthegarden I have a part of my yard next to the creek that stays muddy all year so I think it will do perfect there
Go Maine!
I am here for it!
What a fun time!! Thank you for bringing us along! You will have to visit the Baker Creek Fair in Missouri in May (I think) I would definitely come to meet you there!!
I should go check that one out some time!
14:24 it’s a barred owl 🦉 their call sounds like they’re saying “who cooks for you!” Very vocal little guys
Ahh yes the famous who cooks for you call haha, I always have a hard time hearing it.
I loved this video! I will have to visit that fair. It looks amazing.
Jacques, if not this time on your next trip: are you adding New Brunswick, Canada? Next to Maine. Welcome here anytime!!
I really need to get up there, haven't been since I was a little kid!
@jacquesinthegarden again, your welcome anytime!
Wow! Amazing ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Really enjoyed your visit. Thanks. you can sleep on the plane
OH how I would love to go!
🌺Mahalo for sharing. Can't wait to see the other videos.
Thanks for watching!
Welcome to Maine. I live in Millinocket, Maine. Love your channel.
Everyone was so welcoming!
The Common Ground Fair hosts the largest farmer's market in Maine. Many growers plan their whole season around those three days. Some of them make over half of their annual sales at the fair.
Great video thanks
A nice place, you really enjoyed, one day is hard😊
I’ve lived about 25 minutes from the common ground fair my whole life, I think I’ve only missed one or two of them! Such a wonderful fair with such wonderful and knowledgeable people ❤
We were lucky enough to be a part of the fair this year as well! If you come again next year we bring our goats and do milking demos all weekend long 🐐
Also our winters are becoming quite mild so moving up this way might be in your future?
I want to go next year, you made it seem so awesome! Great content. :)
Jacques, I swear the Maine winters are not that bad (*coughcough*climate change is real*coughcough*). Maine is great! I'm glad you enjoyed Common Ground. It's always a highlight for me!! The owl in this year's design is a Barred Owl, and yes, they are very common in Maine :)
You are the third one to mention the winters being not that bad anymore! I really loved it up there and the people were all great too! Hopefully next year I can go up there and do some birding, I'd love the chance to see a Barred Owl
Maine in the inland mid coast region, like where the MOFGA Fair is located, has the same temperatures as in Delaware in 1980. No more brutal winters with heavy snow. I moved from Orange County California to Delaware in 1982 and the real problem now is that the summers are brutally hot and humid. Winter is a relief, cold but the ground no longer freezes.
@@jacquesinthegardenBarred owls are everywhere in northern states. What’s really cool is when you can spot a Snowy Owl 🤩. It was an exciting moment.
From central Illinois, we still disc the soil in fields and larger gardens and food plots for deer
The disk seems pretty ideal to be honest, not too damaging and great for texturing the soil .
Wow! Your in Maine! Welcome to the East Coast! I don't know why I'm so excited about that. Maine is at least 8 hours away from me. So you're not exactly in my backyard LOL. 😅😅
So much east coast to explore!
Siberian Kale is my absolute favorite!
I am about to transplant mine now!
You’re allowed some organic fries since you had some apple/beet juice 😉. Lots of great things there…looks like you made some good purchases.
Haha with all the steps It felt well earned!
Next time you’re in Maine, stop by the botanical gardens in boothbay! It is gorgeous there
I for sure will add it to the list!
I hope you went to Pinetree Gardens while you were up there ❤
Next time I will!
IF you DO move east coast (Maine, NH, Mass, etc), remember, it's a short drive away to see Niagara. AMAZING geology, there, too. We have such cool features, from glacial moraines (the entire land of Cape Cod!), to the huge granite formations in Niagara, to the White Mountains and the Kettle Ponds of New England, all worth a drive, once you get the East Coast garden setup!
btw, pretty sure that's a Great Gray Owl. Kinda rare, but well known in Maine
I REALLY wish I had an extra day or two for driving around and just looking at things. Next time I am for sure going to Acadia national park that is for sure!
@@jacquesinthegarden Acadia's pretty cool! BTW, did you get a chance to get up to Wood Prairie Family Farms? See where the world's most awesome seed potato, and organic garlic comes from? It's quite the long haul... and on the border of Canada.
Man! Wish i had known you were gonna be in my neck of the woods!
I will be back!
Nice tour. We have family there and frequently talk about their high bush blueberries and bear that attack bird feeder and groundhog that tears up their lawn and power outages. Apparently they like it.
I’m surprised you didn’t go to Johnnys Seeds, Eliot Coleman Farm, Woodprairie potato farm or Fedco.
They were all on my list but this trip had other obligations, next time for sure!
Central Illinois threshremans reunion always has cold water they give out for free, if you or the epic gardening team want a real experience visit pontiac Illinois during memorial day weekend to visit the threshermmans reunion. Shows old school blacksmith, tractors, and coal run saw mills, bandsaw, and threshing! How Americans separated grains and corn from stalks. I have grown up on this, but it is truly worth a documentary, plus a huge flea market/swap meet
Wow that sounds super cool and satisfying!
If you are considering Maine, take a vacation there in winter. Maybe January or February. Then you can decide.
Haha, that is what everyone told me, I don't think I can actually handle it without going stir crazy!
@@jacquesinthegarden I only know one way to handle Maine winters and that is to get outside and do something.
12:55 i was at a Pumpkin Patch this year and they were charging $4 for bottled water
So disappointing, water should just be a standard free option!
Hi Jacques! Like 175! 🥰🥰🥰
💚💚💚
😂 the Hobbit home is like a typical NYC apartment 😂 and the $4k would be the rent each month
Haha, honestly they looked super cool!
You are sorta in my neck of the woods, Delaware. Well, closer to me than when you are in California.
Haha for sure closer!
Birch syrup!😮 can you make root beer out of it?
You can make birch beer, it's delicious
I am not sure but the syrup was delicious!
So how about a diy hobbit hole with a grass/wheat roof?
I’ve grown tromboncino, it’s quite prolific and even overwintered and started fruiting again. I think my climate might be a bit warmer than yours. (Southern Queensland Australia)
A diy hobbit house would be pretty epic!
I live in FLA and would also love to move to Maine buttttttt when I see snow < its not good!
Haha it is quite extreme compared to Florida
Wow amazing event. How did you end up there 👀.
I went to tour North Spore (full tour on Epic TH-cam) and extended my trip to stop by Common Grounds!
@ ah right on. Very cool!
Well that just went on my bucket list. Do we have anything like that in California?
Not at this level, at least as far as I know!
I liked learning about Noah's company Bhoomi Devi Seeds.
When and where is the MOFGA Common Ground Fair held?
It is in Unity Maine and I think it is always in late September
So @jacquesinthegarden I’m aware how Kevin from epicgarden got started into gardening, but what about You!?
If you have a video, could you post a link to said Jacques In The Garden origin video? Or if you don’t, could you make one?
Doesn’t have to be really long, I’m really impressed by your garden knowledge. Thanks.😊
Discing is the old way of chop and drop.
That is totally true, it lightly chops and incorporates into the surface soil!
I’m excited for you and all of the things you got to experience. Be careful with the birch syrup around your animals. Xylitol is from birch trees and is deadly to animals so I’d assume the syrup is similar. Thank you for sharing with us!!
Oh interesting, never would have thought of that! Thanks for sharing
We Mainers, especially on the coast, do not have real winters any more. Very little snow, pretty droughty actually, rarely below freezing during the day on and on in the climate changed world. Feel free to switch coasts, you'll be ok. :)
I Am from Nova Scotia reminds very much of home
