Smithereen Farm is a super diverse, MOFGA-certified organic farm operation looking out on Cobscook Bay in beautiful downeast Maine.
We’re building an abundant, dynamic, and multi-faceted agroforestry operation, producing healthy food for Washington County and beyond. We grow big gardens, gather wild medicinal herbs and seaweeds, and harvest low bush blueberries and cranberries—and then we process all these unique tastes into value-added products in our commercial kitchen. We host community events and workshops, and U-pick organic Maine wild blueberries!
We’re hiring! Join our team in beautiful Downeast Maine!

2025 FARM UPDATE
Smithereen Farm enters our eighth season here in Washington County. With our arms full of babies we have a focus this year on #EatDowneast outreach and field trips for local kids.
Early spring is all about algae harvest, drying, and processing. Then come the wild and farmed herbs in their sequence.
The Smithereen Farmstore opens on May Day with homegrown veggies, a widening local food selection, and new local food map. We accept WIC (SNAP coming soon!) and participate in the Maine Senior FarmShare program. Our shared-use kitchen is available to tour, a particularly useful resource for other startup businesses who need to access to a certified commercial kitchen for creating value-added products.
On Saturday, May 24th we welcome you to our annual community event: the Fourth Annual Pennamaquan Alewife Festival. Join us in downtown Pembroke for free lunch, smoked fish, biologists talks, painting, bike tune-ups, and live music! Walk down to the river to welcome the tremendous abundance of silver fish in our healthy river, surrounded by the blossoming shadberry bushes. It’s an annual parade of life not to be missed!
In July, we welcome the public for U-pick blueberries, and in September, for U-pick cranberries, in our certified organic and “Bee Better” locations. Would you like to work with us during blueberry season? We need more harvesters, sorters, and packers. Reach out to [email protected]
field trips
The Farm is open for public events, Spa Days, and field trips for school and homeschool groups of all ages. Contact us at [email protected] to arrange a visit.
Highlights from the Third Annual Pennamaquan Alewife Festival
Our signature springtime event took place this year on May 24 and May 25, 2024. We welcomed community members from near and far! Thank you to Downeast Salmon Federation, NOAA, and Maine Tourism for helping to make this event a success! See you all again next year.
Wholesale our delicious products!
Bring the tastes of Downeast Maine into your markets and shops. We transform blueberries, seaweed, and wild herbs into jams, jellies, broths, baths, and teas.
The Minke: Our Cooperative Commercial Kitchen
With the help of a grant from USDA, we opened a cooperative commercial kitchen space called The Minke. Alongside other local farmers and producers, we preserve and process our fresh high-season produce into value-added products capturing the essence of coastal Maine. Are you a Washington-County food producer in need of a certified space to create your value-added products?
EAT DOWNEAST: Washington County
…is the name of our program promoting the vibrant local food networks of Washington County. We’re proud to have received a Local Food Promotion Program grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). We’re cultivating networks of resilience and growth, distributing local products to a national audience, and encouraging young farmers to move here!
Our Farm Team
We’re dedicated to the land, the sea, our Washington County community, and building a sustainable network of farmers.
