About the Farm

Long Meadow Farm is a 28-acre organic farm in West Gardiner, Maine. We raise a wide range of food and other products including vegetables, eggs, meat, cut flowers, herbs, and more (for details see our products page). The farm is certified by the Maine Organic Farmers and Growers Association (MOFGA).

We began in 2003 guided by our vision of creating a model for sustainable, low-input, low-tech organic farming. We currently have one acre under cultivation for vegetables, blueberries and strawberries, cut flowers, herbs, and natural dyes; another 10 acres are in pasture/hayfield; and 10 more acres are cutover pine forest, fenced for rough pasture. We have a small flock of Icelandic sheep for meat and fiber, 2 angora goats for fiber and chewing down the brush, three Jersey beef steers, and 40 laying hens.

The farm's products are sold through our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, the Augusta Farmer's Market at Mill Park,  and the Winthrop Farmer's Market. We also sell directly from the farm--please contact us if you'd like to stop by, or visit our farmstand on Sunday afternoons from late spring until October.

Our apprentice program offers an opportunity for people to live on the farm for a season while learning about organic farming.

Longmeadow Farm is owned and operated by Michele Roy and Denis Thoet. Both have strong beliefs about caring for the earth, raising healthy food, and not over-consuming. They've been farming/gardening for home use since the 1970s. Michele also plays the fiddle in a contradance band.
