Early Spring at Fisher Farm

While we were in Winterport, Chris Hillier and I decided to see if we could stop in at Fisher Farm.

Their farm stand, which was being renovated had a prominently displayed poster size copy of one of our catalog covers, featuring a shot of their display at the Common Ground Country Fair.

Chris' notes sum it all up very well:

We didn’t have a scheduled tour at Fisher farm, but we decided to stop by anyway. Beth Haines' in-laws were there, so Rose Fisher showed us around. They have two greenhouses set up with seedlings started. They have chickens and sheep near their tool barn. Their 30x96 hoop-house was stocked full of chard, beets, tatsoi, arugula, kale and other greens. Most was ready to harvest. They also had thrown in a row of overwintered onions. They have a 50 family CSA and go to a few farmers markets. They have diversified vegetables and eggs and cut flowers. There wasn’t much happening today, but you can tell it’s a bustling place to be during the growing season. Beth and her husband live in an “off the grid” house with solar panels, water pumps outdoors next to the outhouse. Quaint and rustic – a beautiful farm.

Three farms today - all had chickens. I'm seeing a trend here. :)

Thanks!
