In 1987, Gregg and Gloria purchased the farm from Gregg’s parents, Warren and Marguerite. It is located between Turner Center and Turner Village. The farm has 250 acres of cropland and pasturage along the Nezinscot River, and is home to one of the oldest archaeological sites east of the Mississippi.
Gregg and Gloria have five children, all of whom participate in maintaining and running the family business. They pick eggs, milk cows and goats, feed the diverse animals of the farm, and help with the planting and harvesting of the many fresh vegetables grown there.
Since the farm came into Gregg and Gloria’s hands, they have expanded the dairy herd, added a farm store, built a tea house, and expanded the fresh vegetable offerings to include dry beans, garlic, year round root crops, and winter greens. Their products are grown using biodynamic and organic production methods.
Our continuing desire is to educate people on the importance of supporting local farms and to know where your food comes from. It’s with this goal in mind that we continue to maintain and encourage diverse and sustainable agricultural system for family farms as a way to keep them (and us) in business. Helping to keep Maine rural looking in landscape while at the same time helping to keep the family farms within that landscape, working.
