George Nash has been living a self-reliant life for almost 40 years. Author, seller of Christmas trees in Manhattan for the last 35 years, former builder and renovator and homesteader at Gopher Broke Farm, George is truly a jack-of-all trades. Jane Waterman was raised on a New Hampshire dairy farm and learned gardening and animal husbandry from an early age. After many years as a midwife and later a doctor, Jane now lives full-time on the homestead with husband George, raising their own vegetables, berries, eggs, meat and fuel. Together, George and Jane are actively restoring the overgrown and neglected pastures, cleaning up the woodlot, rehabilitating apple trees and producing pastured poultry and pork for local markets.
