Fisher Farm
We are a small, well established, certified organic vegetable farm in Winterport, Maine. We sell a wide variety of vegetables through a 70 member CSA program and a weekly local farmers market. We also have an on-farm seedling sale event in the spring and celebrate the harvest season by vending at MOFGA’s Common Ground Fair in September. We focus on growing high quality vegetables in healthy soil for our local community. We rotate growing on 4 acres, maintaining soil fertility through cover cropping and extend the season with three high tunnels. While we do use a tractor for some field work, most of our work is done using appropriate hand tools.
