What started with a livestock-heavy focus in New Gloucester 14 years ago grew to owning and bringing back an orchard with Mount Washington views in Poland in 2016. “We purchased the Roberts’ Orchard because it was right next to our (managed forest) land and because we know that once farms go away, they’re never coming back,” Stacey Bsullak, John’s wife, said. Last year, the couple’s Gathering Winds Farm & Orchard grew apples, pears, almost two acres of vegetables and pumpkins, and planted in a high-tunnel for the first time, offering produce at their farm store.
