I am a descendant of the Eastern Woodland Indian, Colonial Era Tribal families of the Cuffes and Wainers of Dartmouth and Westport. Wainer Woods is the 225 years old homestead of my grandfather Micah Quaben a.k.a Micheal Wainer, obtained by my Uncle Paul Cuffe, then purchased by my grandfather. The land will be celebrated again after it 40 plus year dormancy with a food forest, botanical plants and row cropping of all historical native tribal, non GMO, heirloom seeded plants. We are slated for 2026 as our planting season.
