Cumberland

Two Hands Farm in Cumberland Center grows vegetables and flowers and keeps free-range chickens, ducks, and dairy goats on its small CSA operation. Founder Farmer Jess handed the lease to Maddy and Joe of Whistle Cat Farm in 2025, who've kept the same growing principles going. The CSA shares sold out that year — proof the switch in hands didn't cost them their following.

Cumberland

Longwoods Alpaca Farm raised a herd of alpacas for fiber on this Route 9 property from 2004 until 2016, when the last animals were sold; the farm itself changed hands the following year. The family kept working with their own fleece under the Longwoods Alpacas name, now based in Southwest Harbor, knitting and weaving yarn from the herd they used to keep here. The Cumberland barns are no longer part of the operation.

Cumberland

Cumberland

Terison has run as a u-pick orchard since 1946, now in its fourth generation, and the family calls it the first pick-your-own orchard in Maine. The picking list stays short and deliberate — McIntosh and Cortland only, grown low-spray. Dogs are welcome on leash. Find it on Whitney Road, about two miles north of the Cumberland Fairgrounds.

Ellen's Healing Herbs grows fresh herbs on Hemlock Cove Road in Falmouth and lets visitors pick their own by appointment. Directory listings are mixed on whether the farm is still active, so calling ahead before a visit is the safest bet.

North Yarmouth

Hansel's Orchard picks apples off trees that are roughly 80 years old, big and wide enough that the farm says stories get written about them. McIntosh comes in first in September, followed by Cortland and Macoun through October. Open 10 to 5 during harvest, with pre-picked bags left at the entrance stand after hours for latecomers.

Gray

Ten Apple Farm in Gray runs goat hikes, both public group outings and private bookings, plus a virtual option they call Goat-Grams for people who can't make it in person. The farm also hosts workshops, a retreat called the Woods House, and has published its own books. It's less a working farm than an experience built around its goats — reserve ahead, since sessions fill by group size.

Its produce division farms more than 300 acres, and there's a natural meats operation on top of that. Self-guided tours and farmyard animal encounters run through the season.

Baker Brook Farm started in 1998 when Diane and Steve O'Brien's son joined a 4-H dairy club and brought home heifers to raise.

Harvesting Good freezes vegetables at peak ripeness and distributes them to grocery stores, schools, hospitals, and senior centers across the Northeast. It runs as a subsidiary of Good Shepherd Food Bank of Maine, built to give regional farmers a processing outlet when their harvest outpaces the fresh market. The operation fills a gap most small Northeast farms hit every year: too much produce, too short a fresh-sale window.
