Truly a family enterprise, our farm in East Vassalboro village has raised gladiolas and many other cut-flower varieties since 1970. We will also have glad bulbs and flower seedlings and some vegetable seedlings available in the spring.
Our farmers market season will be from May through September.

Our family farm came full circle when we bought our grandmother’s farm after teaching 20 years abroad. We are within walking distance of the East Vassalboro Grange. Our all organic farm is “berry” satisfying with the primary focus in growing strawberry, raspberry and blackberries from early summer to fall. We also produce and sell vegetables and fruits as the seasons, energy and talent allows.

We are located on the Outlet Stream in historic Shoddy Hollow. Our home is the old office to one of the mills on our stream. Our goal is to offer as many heirloom varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers as possible. Our produce will be pesticide free. It may cost a little more, but remember, it takes longer to catch bugs by hand.
