About Pete:

This position would provide support to Peter Hagerty (age 80) to allow him to safely and comfortably age in his home of over 50 years. Peter and his wife Marty moved to Porter, Maine in the foothills of the White Mountains in 1974 as part of the back to the land movement. Marty made pottery, Peter logged with horses, and they both started a small flock of sheep. In the 80s they founded Peace Fleece, an international wool business that blended wool of historic enemies to foster peace through trade. Marty recently moved to an assisted living facility and we’re wanting Peter to stay on their beloved farm as long as possible. Peter has dementia and he needs a companion to make sure he’s well taken care of on the farm.
