Alder Brook Pig Farm is tucked in the woods in the small town of Athens, Maine.

We specialize in raising Heritage Breed pork. All our pigs are registered pure bred Large Blacks. This breed is best known for its marbled meat which makes it tender, fine-textured and succulent. It is unlike any pork you ever tasted. By raising the pigs on pasture they don't need medication or antibiotics they receive all the vitamins and nutrients they need from mother nature. We are bringing back the old style pork raised on pasture—happy and never confined.

We sell half a pig or whole. If you don't have a freezer big enough or just a small household we do sell from the freezer. Our smoked goods can be smoked with or without nitrates. All our pork is frozen and packaged at a USDA certified facility. We also sell weaned piglets for 4H projects or to raise your own pork. Farm tours are available

Call or email for more information.

Heartstone Farm is a family farm raising grass-fed beef on our 300 acres of pastures in the heart of Maine. We raise Angus and Angus-Hereford cattle because they do great on our grass – resulting in tender, marbled, delicious beef.

We practice management intensive grazing – moving our cattle once a day to new, lush pastures. They always have easy access to fresh clean water and plenty of shade on hot days.

We sell sides (half of the cow) to customers throughout New England. (Delivery is free in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.) Many of our customers visit our farm to learn about the care we give our animals and to get a better feeling for the source of the beef they are buying. We love visitors – especially in the late spring and summer! Our customers rave about the tenderness and taste of our meat. We have a limited number of openings for our upcoming deliveries – please inquire as to availability.

Misty Brook Farm is a diversified farm in Albion, ME committed to producing high quality staples to satisfy all the requirements of a balanced, healthy diet. We are certified organic by Baystate Organic Certifiers.

Our dairy cows are Jersey and Jersey crosses that produce rich creamy milk. The dairy cows, beefers, and veal calves are all 100% grass-fed. They graze from April to November and eat hay during the winter months.

Our laying hens and broiler chickens are fed organic soy-free grain to complement what they find on pasture while roaming.

Our vegetable garden is managed using draft horses and the diversity of its offerings reflect the season upon us! We grow a variety of mixed vegetables including a great deal of winter storage crops.

Sebago Lake Ranch is located 1 mile from the South shore of Sebago Lake on the Gorham/Standish line. We also farm in other parts of Gorham and Standish. We have been raising beef under a Natural label since the 90s and switched to a no grain, grass only diet in 2006.

We have practiced management intensive grazing since 1999 and worked with the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service for many years on projects to improve soil, water and air quality. As the manager of Sebago Lake Ranch I farm on a professional level. I have a BS from Cornell University in Animal Science and have attended various schools and seminars on Grass-Fed beef. I also have an extensive library on the subject, constantly staying up to date with the newest knowledge and technology.

Animals are humanely, safely and efficiently handled with a chute system purchased in 2006. We have been certified with the Maine Beef Quality Assurance program. We use a local abattoir that is federally USDA inspected and packages the meat in cryovac plastic. Right now we are limited to a seasonal production model because we want to achieve the maximum levels of Omega-3 and CLA that can be found in an animal finished on green grass. You may also find us at the Portland Farmers Market in Deering Oaks Park, May-November from 7-noon, and at the Sebago Brewing Company at their Portland, Scarborough, and Gorham locations.

We also produce/sell Maple Syrup.
