Agriculture. Education. Community.

Supporting agriculture, education and community.

The Morris Farm is both a working farm and an educational resource for the communities of midcoast Maine. The Morris Farm Trust works to promote the values of sustainable agriculture and stewardship of the earth through education, demonstration and community involvement, while enhancing food security in the greater midcoast area.

Founded in 1995, the Morris Farm was created in an effort to preserve and operate one of the last remaining farms in Wiscasset. In the ensuing years, trustees, community volunteers, members, and staff have worked tirelessly to restore and expand the farm's buildings and care for the land. We are now a "Forever Farm," as designated by the Maine Farmland Trust.

Agriculture

We aim to be a resource for local agriculture. Our 50 acres currently supports crops for our store and for our 24/7 food pantry, cows from Straw's Farm, bee-hives, and various community gardens. We sell products from local farms in our farm store, and maintain an updated directory of farms found in Lincoln County.

Education

Our programming is designed to provide children and adults with an understanding of sustainable agriculture, the environment, and nutrition. Skills to grow, process, and cook one’s own food, and the initiative to support the local food system, are highlighted.

Community

In addition to our own classes and programs, community groups often use our facility. Currently, the Dam Jam Fiddlers and the Sheepscot Spinners meet in our Learning Center. We also rent the Learning Center, barn and portions of the land for a variety of events, including weddings.

FARM STORE

Our farm store is open 6 days a week, Monday-Saturday from 10AM to 5 PM.  You’ll find “Morris Farm” grown items, such as eggs, meats and produce along with an assortment of food and craft products all made right in Maine. Raw milk is a specialty, along with cheeses, honey, maple syrup, pickles and relishes, and many decorative items.

FOOD SECURITY

Support the Morris Farm as we work to enhance food security in the greater midcoast area, one important aspect of our mission. Our goals are to develop the capacity of the Morris Farm to serve those facing food insecurity directly and to provide structures for local organizations and farmers to work together.

Our recently opened Take-What-You-Need Farm Stand offers fresh, locally sourced produce for free the community. It is opened 7 days a week, and is stocked 5 days a week.
