Company description
Turner Farm is a diversified organic seaside farm on the island of North Haven, twelve miles off the coast of Rockland. We grow small scale, high value, certified organic vegetables, berries, herbs, and flowers, using passive solar hoop houses and heated greenhouses. We raise pigs in the woods and maintain a small herd of beef cattle and a flock of laying hens in rotation on our hilly pastures. We serve the communities of North Haven and Vinalhaven, with fresh organic produce. Throughout the summer, our produce is featured in our weekly barn suppers and in the many events hosted in our stunning post and beam barn. Wedding ceremonies are held on our beach with reception and dancing in the barn. We welcome visitors to explore the farm on their own and offer the opportunity to stay in our Guest House overlooking the farm and the Fox Island thorofare. We are a dynamic and diverse business enjoying a great 2026 season.
