Research & Innovation

We are building and applying the science of regenerative agriculture through on-farm practice trials and research; open-source soil health measurement and data sharing initiatives; and farmer tools for access to incentives and premiums.

On-Farm Research and Partnerships

We collaborate with research partners to perform on-farm research projects and share this knowledge to further inform environmental and agricultural advances for farmers.

Fruit and Vegetable Demonstration

Four acres of production, high-tunnel greenhouses, and small orchards let us model regenerative practices and conduct research that directly benefits Maine’s vegetable farming community.

Organic Dairy Program

Wolfe’s Neck Center’s Organic Dairy Research and Training program serves as a testing ground for new management technologies and techniques, including rotational grazing.

Carbon Footpath

This self-guided tour created in partnership with Bigelow Laboratories can be experienced on campus or digitally. Learn about the carbon cycle and its importance for our health and environment.

Grazing Lands Carbon Data Initiative

A collaborative project to support improved environmental outcomes, producer profitability, and regenerative certifications in the beef sector through producer data access and control.

OpenTEAM

Wolfe’s Neck Center is proud to have helped incubate OpenTEAM, a collaborative advancing open agricultural technologies and data systems to enable climate resilience, food system equity, and land stewardship for future generations.
