When my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in the mid-1990s, there were few options for therapies and treatments. As her disease progressed over the next decade, there was little that could be done until she died in 2004.

Amos Daisey, of Orford, cleans a deer skull while making a European skull mount for a customer on March 7. Using deer, boar and bear heads, Daisey boils them for hours, cleans and dries the skulls before brushing their teeth and using a whitener. He said the whole process takes about three days.

Today, the family runs a wholesale cut-flower business, a bait shop and a meat-cutting business. “We’re trying to make the farm work,” he said.
