Kirsten Lie-Nielsen keeps chickens, a gaggle of geese, bees and goats at her farm in Liberty, Maine. She and her partner are rebuilding an 1820s farmhouse while turning overgrown fields back into vegetable gardens. When not working on the farm and tending her geese and other animals, Kirsten writes about her experiences at her blog and has written two books, The Modern Homesteader's Guide to Keeping Geese as well as So You Want to Be a Modern Homesteader?: All the Dirt on Living the Good Life.
She has worked with Ambrook Research, Modern Farmer, Edible Maine, Civil Eats, Grit magazine and other publications in addition to publishing two books on homesteading with New Society Publishers.
