Supporting farmer viability, thriving ecosystems, and vibrant communities

We are a one-of-a-kind place on the coast of Maine advancing agriculture – on our own farm, regionally, and nationally – to accelerate change in food systems through regenerative farming demonstration and training, innovative research, and collaborations.

Operating as a nonprofit organization since 1997, and an organic coastal farm for over sixty years, Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture and the Environment is a farm-based education, research, and visitor center set amidst more than 600 acres of conserved open space along Casco Bay in Freeport, Maine.

 

Our four program areas work together for greater impact:

Visitor Education & Experience

We provide experiential education for all ages, including free, public, and school programs to make connections between food, agriculture, and the environment.

Farmer Education and Market Development

We train aspiring farmers in regenerative grazing and livestock practices and coordinate regional networks that support and expand implementation.

Your gift supports a better future for farming, our children, our community and the planet.

Research & Demonstration

We partner to build the scientific evidence for regenerative agriculture and demonstrate best practices through organic dairy and fruit and vegetable production.

Technology & Innovation

We facilitate agricultural technologies to make data collection, sharing, and analysis accessible for farmers and ranchers while ensuring their data sovereignty.

Our members are the backbone of this community. Member contributions help us responsibly steward this extraordinary landscape of more than 600 acres, including 3 miles of trails, and keep it free and open to the public. If you love this special place and care about our work, consider becoming a member!

We Farm on Abenaki Land.

Thank You to Our 2025 Lead Sponsors

Our Business Partners invest in the future of food and farming by supporting Wolfe’s Neck Center. Their marketing partnership connects them with the tens of thousands of visitors who come to the farm each year.

‘It’s a sad time to be a farmer.’

The USDA funding freeze is hitting Wolfe’s Neck Center hard. We are asking for your help to continue connecting people to agriculture and training the next generation of farmers.
