Wolfe's neck state park was founded in the late 1940s by Lawrence and Ellanore Smith of Philadelphia who were dedicated to developing a natural farming operation. The legacy of their goal exists today in Wolfe's Neck Farm which produces grass raised beef and is working with local farmers to find ways to produce local food in the best possible ways while also educating people on the importance of local, healthy foods.
The Smiths later donated over 200 acres to the state of Maine for the creation of a state park for hiking, camping, and exploring nature. Maine is known for its scenic shoreline, but that uniqueness of the working farm next to beautiful Casco Bay is quite striking to anyone who takes the time to go exploring in this area. The land itself takes the name from Henry Wolfe who was the first settler in this area and obviously had a good eye for real estate.
The picture included with this post came at the end of a cloudy day where on my way home from a meeting. I decided to take a walk down by the water. The sun broke through the clouds as it began to set giving quite the display of color before it disappeared
