Simon Mercer

Hi! I am Simon Mercer, a free-thinking Anabaptist, would-be poet who dabbles in landscaping , woodwork, and street corner philosophizing. I also like to grow pole beans, sweet potatoes, and butterscotch pears. I live at the Maple Ridge Bruderhof, in Ulster Park, New York . I believe in being unpredictable (even to myself) and enjoy getting out and doing rustic things. I have lived in New York State most of my life, and am proud of having attended UConn, but I’m most proud of all of my wife, Jeannie, and my daughter, Alida!
