We have been farming and fermenting our delicious krauts and hot sauces since 2004 and are committed to making our products almost entirely from the vegetables grown on our farm. Currently we grow ten acres of  annual crops on beautiful riverside fields in Midcoast Maine.

In 2019 we purchased a picturesque new home farm on Broad Cove in Bremen, Maine. We completed construction of our processing facility in 2020, and we have been ramping up production ever since.   We have exciting new growth opportunities in the works for the 2025 growing season and beyond.
