Nezinscot Farm Store

A working organic dairy in Turner, Maine, integrated with a year-round value-add cluster that's exceptional in scope: a cheesemaking facility, a butcher shop, a fiber studio, a farm-to-table cafe and bakery, a coffee shop, an herbal apothecary, and a grocery — all operating from the farm. Year-round CSA covers beef, pork, chicken, dairy, eggs, fruits, and vegetables. The on-farm bread program alone runs ten-plus varieties; the herb line runs teas, tinctures, infused oils, salves, and smudges.

What they do

Nezinscot Farm in Turner, Maine, self-describes as “a fully functional organic [[dairy|dairy farm]]” — and then stacks an entire small-town food economy onto that base. The on-farm operations include:

  • Cheesemaking facility producing the dairy-line cheeses
  • Butcher shop processing the farm’s beef, pork, and chicken
  • [[farm-to-table|Farm-to-table]] cafe & bakery with ten-plus bread varieties (Anadama, Oatmeal, 7-grain, Whole Wheat, [[cinnamon|Cinnamon]] Swirl, White, Seed, Sourdough, Cinnamon Raisin, and more) plus pastries (doughnuts, muffins, croissants, bagels)
  • Coffee shop
  • Herbal apothecary — teas, tinctures, infused oils, salves, smudges
  • Fiber studio — wool products from the farm’s animals
  • Grocery store carrying the farm’s products plus local/regional sourced items

Dairy, beef, pork, chicken, and cheese are produced “without the use of toxic pesticides, synthetic hormones, antibiotics or GMOs.” The year-round CSA spans the entire output: beef, pork, chicken, dairy, eggs, fruits, vegetables.

Open Wednesday-Sunday, 7am-5pm.

Why it’s listed

A single working organic dairy that integrates cheesemaking + butchering + bakery + cafe + apothecary + fiber + grocery + year-round meat-and-produce CSA is one of the most fully-integrated substrate-builder operations [[directory|the directory]] tracks. The pattern this farm describes — small-town food economy compressed into one operation — is the model [[directory|the directory]] exists to surface; it just usually doesn’t appear at this scope on a single property. Worth visiting in person.
