Maple-syrup making. Raising pigs. Beekeeping. Yep, the Gesslers had a lot of activities around their acreage. But with the help of Bobcat, they had even bigger plans for their next property.

When Luke Gessler and his wife, Elena, were considering buying an acreage near Portland, Maine, one of the first things they noticed was the maple trees. 

“The owners had already marked over 40 maple trees throughout the property for sap collection,” Luke says. 

The Gesslers packed a lot of activity into their previous homestead, a small 1.5-acre farm near Naples, Maine, including making maple syrup, raising pigs and beekeeping. But they needed a bigger property for their future plans to raise more animals – especially sheep. The new, larger acreage checked all their boxes.
