made an indelible impression on the hearts of the people who live in that rural community. Through Sanford Kelley or Jonesport and the Littlefield family of East Benton, we see how both
family and commercial farms are part of the familiar landscape of Maine. And, we get a peek at Lucerne Maple Products in East Holden where, each year, smoke from the sugar-shack signals
the waning of winter for Charles Grover and Tim Littlefield, who share with us their passion for "sapping".
