Tucked away on the scenic shores of Cobscook Bay, Smithereen Farm is not just a farm but a vibrant hub of agroforestry and community-centered activities. This MOFGA-certified organic farm in Pembroke, Maine, engages in a diverse range of agricultural practices, from cultivating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to wild harvesting seaweed and medicinal herbs. They also focus on community enrichment through educational workshops and cultural events in partnership with their sister organization, Greenhorns.

This summer, Smithereen Farm is alive with a series of engaging events designed to bring people closer to the land and sea that sustain them. Visitors can look forward to hands-on experiences like berry picking and participation in farm workshops that highlight sustainable practices and artisanal food production. The farm also hosts camping experiences, offering a unique opportunity to immerse in the natural beauty and tranquility of Downeast Maine.
