Meadowfall Farm

Wild foraged and Heirloom fruits, vegetables and mushrooms.

Meadowfall is a micro-farm and homestead in Parsonsfield, Maine nestled along the New Hampshire border near Province Lake - a treasure trove of wild edibles such as blueberries, elderberries and groundnuts. We specialize in wild foraged foods found in our local meadows, forests, bogs and beaches. We also cultivate heirloom fruits and vegetables on a small amount of acreage with intensive planting. It is a goal of ours to introduce food lovers to the color, beauty and unique tastes of new and unusual varieties of produce, whether it be wild or cultivated.

We have a particular interest in preserving heirloom varieties of produce as they provide a more colorful and flavorful palette that we enjoy to see on our plates and growing on our farm. We love foraging for wild food, as it is truly seasonal - from the earliest spring field sorrel to the late autumn Maitake mushrooms found beneath fallen oak leaves.

In efforts to create a beautiful landscape that nourishes itself passively, permaculture (permanent-agriculture) is a central design component on our farm. Each year we plant more perennial fruiting vines and trees. For our annual market gardens, we incorporate companion planting with crops that work harmoniously together, intercropping vegetables to combat insects, attract pollinators, and to build nutrients in the soil. While we are not yet certified organic, we use organic practices with no synthetic or chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

We raise heritage-breed chickens for their multi-colored eggs and angora rabbits for wool. Our animals are free-range and are always happy to roam around the yard eating grubs and grass while fertilizing the soil. Giving the animals fresh pasture is mutually beneficial as they can forage while providing us with manure. We always believe in happy animals as they are endlessly entertaining to have around the farm.
