Creating a world where agriculture and food systems support farmer viability, thriving ecosystems, and vibrant communities.

Home

We are a one-of-a-kind place on the coast of Maine advancing agriculture – on our own farm, regionally, and nationally – to accelerate change in food systems and mitigate the effects of a changing climate through regenerative farming demonstration and training, innovative research, and collaborations.

Operating as a nonprofit organization since 1997, and an organic coastal farm for over sixty years, Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture and the Environment is a farm-based education, research, and visitor center set amidst more than 600 acres of conserved open space along Casco Bay in Freeport, Maine.
