The Morris Farm Trust is both a working farm and an educational resource for the communities of mid coast Maine. Our certified organic 50 acres now support a demonstration and educational garden, pastured poultry, pigs, cows, sheep, four draft horses and three dozen laying hens. The remaining 10 acres of our land is wooded and features an interpretive trail that connects to an adjacent forest. A yurt in the woods is available for summer campers.

Founded in 1994, the Morris Farm was created in an effort to preserve and operate one of the last remaining farms in Wiscasset. In the ensuing ten years, trustees, community volunteers, members, and staff have worked tirelessly to restore and expand the farm's buildings and to rejuvenate the land. By all measures, our progress has been impressive. Contemporaneous with the renovation of the farm has been the development of educational programming designed to provide children and adults with the knowledge and skills to understand sustainable agriculture concepts, grow their own food, and support the local food system.

The Morris Farm offers fieldtrips and after school programs for kindergarten through high school students tied to state academic achievement standards that provide hands-on, real life educational experiences for children of all levels and academic ability as well as year-round lectures, events and demonstrations for both children and adults.

All of our programs rely on participation from trained community volunteers and utilize the farm's land and animals to foster respect for the earth and to instill a sense of shared responsibility for the wise stewardship of natural resources. The farm's programs for adults range from gardening workshops to seminars  by advocates of sustainable agriculture and practitioners of traditional handcrafts and farmer-to-farmer training and information exchanges. The farm also operates an organic farm apprentice program.

Products produced on the farm are for sale seasonally in the farm lobby (self-service, honor system) and include unpasteurized milk, eggs, beef, chicken, pork and vegetables.

First Farming Family!

The Morris Farm is proud to call Buckwheat Blossom Farm our Farm's Farm!  This farm model is the first of its kind in the State of Maine, and we hope that it offers inspiration to other farmland trusts, in Maine as well as throughout New England.  As part of our lease arrangement, Farmers Amy and Jeff Burchstead contribute a portion of their time to the Farm’s education programs and other events.  They also sell eggs, raw milk from Straw's Farm, honey, baked goods, produce in season and meats in the farmstand on the premises.  We are delighted to have Buckwheat Blossom Farm at the Farm!
