Brian Malone spends much of his day with the girls: Ink a Dink, Aunt Bee, Freckles and Lady Gaga.  But wife Carol is not at all jealous since the girls provide the freshest eggs around.

Brian, formerly the Director of Natural Resources for the town of Dennis and town Conservation Agent, is now a Gentleman Farmer.  His organic gardens encompass some of the most incredible vegetables you can find.  His bees produce outstanding honey and his turkeys make his friends very happy come Thanksgiving.

Brian is a hunter and a fisherman and volunteers with the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) and Ducks Unlimited, both great wild life conservation organizations.  Brian assisted with the restoration of the wild turkey in Massachusetts and is Vice President of the local NWTF chapter called the Cranberry County Long Beards:  https://www.facebook.com/CranberryCountryLongbeardsNwtfCapeCodMa.   As a state Hunter Education Instructor, Brian often guest lectures across the Cape for Conservation and youth groups.  You would be delighted to hear his turkey calls – he even conducts seminars on Turkey Calling.

After a day of shellfishing or fishing, Brian gets serious on his 6 burner Wolf range.  He makes a fabulous Quahog Chowdah that rivals even the professionals.  Take a look at his recipe.
