Franny Lin finishes feeding the turkeys Thursday, Nov. 19, at Willow Pond Farm in Sabattus. Lin’s summer apprenticeship at the farm is coming to an end and she will head back to Arlington, Mass., just before Thanksgiving. Farm owner Jill Agnew says her farm shareholders are asking for smaller turkeys this year because people are choosing to have small gatherings because of COVID-19. Agnew says she has had numerous telephone calls asking for 12-pound turkeys. “You can’t get that here,” Agnew tells them. During a typical year, Agnew says she receives requests for birds up to 30 pounds. Not this year. Agnew says the 44 turkeys she has raised for Thanksgiving will average 21 pounds. “No one wants big birds this year because they can’t have large gatherings with friends and family,” Agnew says.

Saying “it’s sort of like a puzzle,” Moe Galarneau stacks wood Tuesday, Nov. 17, at his Auburn home. Galarneau, 71, said he will split nine cords before winter. “Six for me and three for my granddaughter,” he said. Galarneau lives in the house where he grew up. “We have burned wood in this house since 1951,” says the school bus driver, who finds time to split wood between his morning and afternoon bus runs for Acadia Academy in Lewiston. “My goal is to get it done before the snow falls.” Daryn Slover/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
