Thanksgiving Update

Since the days are getting much, much, much colder (gotta love a Maine winter), we are currently transitioning to our greenhouse season. Over the winter we’ll be growing organic microgreens, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, spinach, and raspberries. Construction on the greenhouse is almost done, and while the sun warms the space during the day, we still need to get our heater up and running so the freezing temperatures at night don’t hurt the plants. We are also experimenting with our six cold frames, built completely with recycled wood and windows, which will stimulate growth using only passive solar energy. Winter visitors will be able to enjoy those cold frame crops, our delicious greenhouse produce, as well as fresh mushrooms and freeze-dried foods, as always.

Now, with Thanksgiving upon us, we can’t help but swell with gratitude at the incredible support we’ve received in our first four months. From our opening day on July 23, we have been thrilled to see so many people at the farm stand–neighbors, old friends, new friends, summer visitors from around the world, campers at Wolfe’s Neck Center, hikers at the state park, e-bikers, Vespa-riders, and guests simply stopping to ask for directions who ended up leaving with some yummy produce.  It’s been hard work for sure, but it’s also been a wonderful whirlwind of happy moments with all of you. THANK YOU!
