We pick our vegetables when they're ready and not a moment earlier. That way they look great and taste even better.
From under the warm sun and cool rain, we harvest your veggies, wash them gently in our packing shed and bring them right to you at farmers market, fresh and ready for you to take home to feed to your friends and family.
We like colorful veggies! Whether it's a bundle of our technicolor chard, a bunch of rainbow carrots or a quart of red, white and blue potatoes, we make it easy to add color, beauty and flavor to your table.
Our soils are some of the best in the state, and our commitment to certified Organic agriculture means that they're getting better every year. We're proud for our vegetables to be certified Organic by MOFGA. That means we don't use any synthetic fertilizers or pesticides and instead we work to create a healthy farm ecosystem that naturally nourishes plants and repels pests.
Clayton is a 9th generation family farmer who grew up in Indiana. After college, he ran as far away from farming as he could and worked as a computer programmer for a space-based telescope. After buying his first farm share, he realized he really did want to farm and within 18 months had quit his job and moved to Maine to learn how to grow Organic veggies. He first farmed as MOFGA's Farmer-in-Residence in Unity, then rented a farm in Montville before buying his own farm in Etna.
Clayton farms with his family and helps to manage the Farmers' Markets in Bangor and Orono. When he's not up to his elbows in soil, he dusts off his old programming skills to work on projects like Crop Planning Software (for which he got a SARE grant to start) and our own custom farm share webapp.
