This resource allows our farmers to demonstrate a number of core regenerative agriculture practices and competencies, including crop rotation, integrated pest management, cover cropping, soil science, irrigation, and general problem solving.
Our on-campus value-added food program and donations to local food pantries also demonstrates the mechanics of a small business enterprise and the economics of small-scale organic crop production. Over the years, this dynamic program has provided invaluable instruction, experience, and resources to a new generation of farmers, as well as offering unique experiences for summer campers to learn about soil health and farm-to-table food.
As part of Wolfe’s Neck Center’s mission to support farmers everywhere, in 2025 the focus of the Fruit & Vegetable Program is shifting more toward research and demonstration. This new direction will allow us to model regenerative agricultural practices and conduct research that will directly benefit Maine’s vegetable farming community.
As part of this transition, we’ve made the difficult choice to discontinue our CSA program. While we won’t be offering the CSA this year, we’re excited about the new opportunities that this research-focused approach will bring. In the meantime, our Farm Store and Farm Café will continue to be stocked with Wolfe’s Neck produce, and we will maintain our support for local food pantry partners.
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.
