Meadowfall is a small family farm in Parsonsfield, Maine nestled along the New Hampshire border near Province Lake.

We grow a wide variety of vegetables using sustainable practices and intensive planting on about an acre of land. We practice primarily no-till and the work is done with hand tools such as the broad fork for aerating the soil, hoes for weeding, and a lot of human power. We use no chemical pesticides or fertilizers, managing pests with row-covers, hand-picking and with the help of beneficial insects.

We also specialize in wild foraged foods found in our local meadows, forests, bogs and beaches. It is a goal of ours to introduce food lovers to the color, beauty and unique tastes of unusual varieties of produce, whether they be wild or cultivated. 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.

From around July through October we forage for wild mushrooms in our local forests. We have studied the countless varieties found in Northeastern forests for many years, and especially treasure mycorrhizal mushrooms such as Black Trumpets and Matsutake that require a symbiotic relationship with certain trees in order to grow; meaning they cannot be cultivated. 

We also raise heritage-breed chickens that provide us with a rainbow spectrum of eggs. Our animals are free-range and are always happy to roam around the yard eating grubs and grass while fertilizing the soil. We always believe in happy animals as they are endlessly entertaining to have around the farm. 

In addition to farming and foraging, we embark on many creative endeavors - from woodworking to spinning and knitting, to graphic design, label and sign making and creative cooking endeavors. Feel free to stop by and chat if you visit our farmstand - we are always happy to discuss our various interests!
