Memorial Day Seedling Sale Preorders Now Open!

Welcome to the Farthest Field!

We named our farm after the Farthest Field, a beloved folk song by David Dodson that reflects the sense of connection and belonging we draw from our circle of friends, neighbors, and loved ones. These are the same hopes we have for our farm, a place of gathering, relationship, expression, and nourishment.

You know it's bad when farmers show up for a day of action with their tractors and their ire in the middle of April. This is not a season when we take time away from the farm lightly.

Join and support us TOMORROW, Wednesday April 16th, at 11 AM in Augusta. 🔗 to the event and info below.

We're calling on our congressional delegation to do all they can to reinstate funding and crucial staff that help small, local farms. We are still facing cuts to school food and food bank programs that support local farmers, uncertainty around funding for which we signed contracts with the government, the mass layoffs of technical support staff, and the chaos of tariffs — all affecting a line of work that is already incredibly uncertain on the best of days.

If you can't be there, please spread the word to those who might be able to!

We’re so excited to see you this year at regular farmers markets, in Freeport every Friday, May 30th through September and in Bowdoinham on second Saturdays, June through October.

We’ll have all of our sauces, salsas, and relish, all made with ingredients from the farm, as well as seasonal produce like fresh greens and luscious heirloom tomatoes. Look forward to fresh ginger and turmeric in the fall!

Farm folks, a follow up to our previous post from the MOFGA press conference.

We found out over the weekend that our NRCS planner (the person who develops and reviews projects and contracts with us, is there to answer our many questions, and confirms that a project has been completed and initiates payment to us, and so much more) was fired over a week ago. There is now one person left in our NRCS office, managing all contracts for Cumberland and York counties.

We’re told that funding for our specific projects is still not frozen, and so far this single employee has been able to keep up with getting payments out. It’s to be seen if this will be able to continue, with NRCS so hobbled by these horrendous staff cuts.

Other farms with contracts under different pools of funding may still have their funds frozen, but supposedly some of those funds have now been freed up. There is no guarantee that this is true, as folks haven’t actually seen the money hit their accounts yet. The situation is ever-changing and it is hard to take the government’s word at this point.

Our ask: PLEASE KEEP CALLING YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS! Use the above script and make your voice heard with your two senators and your house representative. And please, KEEP CALLING! Keeping the pressure on and calling multiple times a week, for weeks on end — about this and whatever other issues are closest to your heart — is having an effect in some areas and, regardless, our ire and frustration needs to be voiced. Keep at it, and thank you so much for your support of our farm and all small, local Maine farms.

In solidarity,

Alyssa and Nathan

Starting a farm is hard and high risk, with a huge financial loss up front, and slim margins after that. Our government has supported farms for decades, with some grant programs stretching back to the Dust Bowl, because Americans recognize that farms are critical infrastructure. Today, the federal government is gutting the programs that nearly every farmer in the US relies upon. Thanks to @mofga for your work bringing the stories of the impacts on farms like ours to the media and Maine’s delegation. If we don’t stop the unraveling of the USDA, we’ll see an increasing number of small farms shut their doors over the next four years and beyond. Farms aren’t like factories - once they are gone, they are gone, since developed land generally can’t be reclaimed. If you support Maine farms and want farming to be part of our social fabric far into the future, please call our representatives, especially Sen. Collins and Rep. Golden, and ask them to do whatever they can to get the USDA to honor its contracts, maintain funding for farmers, and retain USDA staff.

Hi y’all! We’re at Caravan Artist Market today and tomorrow from 11-4pm at the Allagash Brewery at 100 Industrial Way in Portland, where there are 30 local vendors and food trucks. We’re in @allagashcellars, which you’d normally need a Golden Ticket to enter (They have a wild Willy Wonka factory thing going, with a Belgian White river and some Oompa Loompas in lederhosen. It’s a whole vibe.) Grab a beer and a bottle of hot sauce, and join this world of pure imagination!

Y’ALL. CANDIED. GINGER.

You heard me. Locally grown ginger from Stonecipher Farm, candied in our Farthest Field kitchen. Super limited run this winter, you’ll find it (and our new ginger syrup, soooo good in mixed drinks and tea — what’s your fancy?) only at our holiday markets in December.

We’re so excited to grow this tropical food here in Maine next year in our unheated high tunnels, so we can bring you more of this sparkling treasure. 🫚
