Over 50 years, Eric and Rebecca Rolfson have created a rural oasis in this central Maine farming community. On 123 acres, they have hand-built a log cabin and renovated a 200- year-old family farmhouse. They have created a maple syrup business, cultivated hayfields that serve local dairy farmers and cut a community trail system through their woods.
