Saco River Farms is a family owned diversified farmstead in Steep Falls, Maine.
We grow a diverse variety of vegetables, fruit and herbs using deep organic methods while avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or GMO’s. Our produce is sold through our farm stand and CSA.
Our Motto:
Healthy, Sustainable, Fresh Food… From our farms to your table. That’s our Promise.
Sustainable Farming:
Our focus is on sustainable farming using “Deep Organic” techniques whenever possible. We believe that the use of chemical insecticides is detrimental to our farms, the environment and most importantly the people who consume our produce. Our vegetables and fruits are produced using only OMRI certified (or equivalent) organic products. In our efforts to offer a product which is truly organic, we use our own quality compost & manure as well as organic fertilizers. No chemical fertilizers are ever sprayed on our plants. Our vegtables and fruits are GMO free.
We aim to also be as sustainable and organic as possible in raising our animals, believing that healthy animals improves the quality of the meat, eggs, and dairy products we consume. In raising our animals we also consider value to be important. While are animals are not 100% organic, we aim to come as close as possible, while providing our customers with a healthy, sustainable product at reasonable prices. All our farm animal friends are fed a mix of quality Poulin Grain, GMO free sprouted barley, locally produced hay and have access to ample pasture space.

Saco River Farms serves our community in two distinct ways.
- Providing sustainable, healthy, locally produced food.
- While teaching others to do the same.
While we strongly believe it is important to grow healthy, sustainable, locally produced food, we also see that we will never be able to meet that need alone. It is only through education that we hope to affect a truly positive change in our communities.
It is our passion at Saco River Farms to grow a new generation of growers. Read more about the Interactive Farmstead Learning Center at Saco River Farms.
