North Branch Farm is family-owned and run by five young adults: Tyler and Seth Yentes, Gilbert Fulford, Elsie Gawler, and Anna Shapley-Quinn. In 2009 we bought the farm and started rehabilitating the barn and preparing fields for organic vegetable crops, orchards, a nursery, higher quality hay fields, and grass-fed meat and milk production. We use a combination of horsepower, hand power, and tractor power on the farm.

Our Mission

Above high yields, we prioritize soil fertility and work to improve it from year to year. We hope to increase the social, environmental, and economic vitality of our community. We also work to minimize our reliance on fossil fuels by using horsepower and people power before tractors. We use only organic treatments for fertility and for pest and disease control, which means no petroleum-based products. Our goals are to strengthen the local and rural economies of Maine, earn a fair living, and supply high quality, delicious, and farm-fresh foods to our neighbors and community members.
