Company description

We are a horse, human, and sometimes tractor powered vegetable farm in the hills of central Maine.  With the help of our draft horses, fabulous staff, and enthusiastic farm dog--we grow eight acres of MOFGA Certified Organic vegetables that we sell to coops and small grocery stores across the state.  While we take particular joy in the search for the perfect carrot, our diverse offerings allow us to have produce for sale winter, spring, summer and fall.  

As farmers, we take great pride in the quality of our produce, and the care we take of our land, animals and employees.  We aim to create an efficient, productive and fun environment for our crew to work and grow.  With an emphasis on clear communication and personal growth, our employees can expect to develop and build on their skills as farmers and farm workers.  

On a whole, we are a small but mighty crew of highly motivated, ambitious and fun-loving farmers.  Each individual’s role on the farm is crafted based around their skills, interests and the needs of the farm at the moment.  Positions are designed to give a more in-depth farming experience, spread out the day-to-day responsibilities of the running the farm, and create the potential for longer term employment.
