Welcome to Merrydowns our old farmhouse and 65-acre heritage farm tucked away deep in the remote countryside of Maine—nearly a mile into the forest surrounded by nature, history, and plenty of hard work. We're excited to bring you along as we restore the farmhouse, revive the farmland, and build a sustainable homestead.
From renovating a historic home and restoring old barns, caring for our menagerie of rescue animals, and tackling the unexpected challenges of rural living, every day brings something new. Life this far off the beaten path isn't always easy, but it's rewarding, peaceful, and full of adventure.
If you love farmhouse restorations, homesteading, off-grid and rural living, DIY projects, gardening, and seeing forgotten places come back to life, you're in the right place.
Subscribe and join us as we transform this hidden piece of history into a thriving heritage farm—and we will see you, at the Merrydowns! #rurallife #homestead #simplelife

Hi. I thought I would give you an update! Firstly, to all of our old subscribers: thank you so much for your patience as we upload missing videos to the channel (and to so many of you for the rewatch) we really appreciate it. Many of you have asked if we will be posting current videos and the answer is: yes, as soon as we upload all the old vids - we are getting there. Mathew and I have been super busy working on fencing so even if we did post, I promise, it would probably become pretty dull doing the same thing over and over again and we really have to get this project finished so the animals can enjoy the downs before snowfall. We are also undertaking a huge project at the moment that is going to pretty much use up any remaining energy we may have and that is to move all the horses' buildings closer to the farmhouse. As many of you know, winter's have been extremely rough having the horses off-grid. When we first moved here it was all forest and the only quick place to put those buildings was far away where there was a gravel pad the previous owner had put in. We are very excited to have the horses closer and no longer have to have all the extra work and stress. We will be posting all about that as soon as it comes together. New vids aren't that far off and we can't wait to show you all the changes and get back to regular videos. We have missed you all so much - Jenny x
