We'd like to introduce you to TIDE MILL ORGANIC FARM, Washington, Maine.
"Our farm is located in Washington County, along the edge of Maine's easternmost coast. The traditional livelihoods of fishing, farming and forestry are still the mainstay for many families. We exist in a largely resource-based economy with people living very close to the rhythms of the earth and its changing seasons. We produce certified organic chicken, pork, grass fed beef, organic milk and vegetables. Our hearty meats and fresh produce are certified by the Maine Organic Farmers & Gardeners Association (M.O.F.G.A.), a USDA accredited certifying agency.
Currently members of our 7th generation sustainably manage the woodlands and blueberry barrens. We believe there is more to running a business than making a profit, so we have developed a mission statement, a value statement, and a set of goals.
Our mission is for our family to earn our living together growing and providing nourishing food while promoting healthy lifestyles, partnership with the land, and strengthening the economy in Washington County, Maine."
At Farmers Fare we carry Tide Mill MOFGA certified organic chicken, certified organic raw milk in gallons and 1/2 gallons, delicious ricotta cheese and their organic dog treats made from dehydrated chicken feet.

Golden Russet Apples and heirloom "Neap" Turnips
Russet apples often exhibit exceptional scent and flavour, typically reminiscent of nuts, and are often very sweet.
This tasty white flesh variety has been cultivated in Warren Maine for over 100 years. Grows to an incredible size and still sweet and tender.

Ta Dah...the burgers have left the building!
|
|
|
|

|
|
The latest update from Farmers Fare on their locavore extraordinaire project for Camden Rockport Elementary School is that on December 8th 200 burgers left the premises for their journey of approximately 200 yards to
the school literally across the road.
These burgers, made from the meat of select local farms and turned into burgers by the on-site butchers at Farmers Fare, Craig and Chris, will be served at the school for the first time today December 10th.
If this pilot project is as successful as FF suspects it will be other schools in the district are slated to quickly follow suit and help push forward a greener, leaner and more local economy for Midcoast Maine. This will help support the growing national trend of promoting and eating the food whose origin can be quickly and easily traced back to it’s source.
The time is here for us to support our local farmers whilst at the same time feeding our children healthy, sustainable food which advances the growth of the local economy!!! YEA from the Farm Team!!
