Sweet Relief Farm

     The farm specializes in 'Growing Organic Food for our Local Friends and Neighbors".  We currently grow seedlings, herbs, and Shiitake mushrooms, for friends and neighbors with a few eggs from our laying hens.  We feature shares for seedlings and mushrooms.  We treat our farm as a 'generous' homestead with plenty of good, healthy, organic food that we want to grow for our homestead with some to share with our friends, family and neighbors.  We were MOFGA certified organic in September, 2014 for produce, mushrooms, and herbs.

    Sweet Relief Farm is a 40-acre lot with mostly woods with wet ravines meandering their way into the Saco River, thus we are continually planning for a viable, sustainable economy for our homestead.  Who knows, the future may hold cranberries, elderberries, or maybe duck production for us.

   Currently we have a 22' x 48' greenhouse for organic seedling production, raised beds spring and winter greens, and summer tomatoes as well as a 30'x72' tunnel house for season extension crops.  We plant in it tomatoes, peppers, summer squash, melons and eggplant for summer production and spinach and other greens for winter.  Our primary field is approximately 2/3 acre and we have scattered garden beds near the greenhouses and our home, some of which hold our herbs.  We have a coop for our laying hens. 

     Julee worked for Rippling Waters Organic Farm previously, where she incorporated many sustainable agricultural methods with permaculture in mind:  year-round hay mulching, companion planting, herbal medicinal mandala designs, hugelculture beds, and you're sure to see some of this influence at the farm. 

    We manage our work with lots of community volunteers, WWOOFers, and apprentices.

     Currently we have Mushroom and Seedling Shares available for sale, which you can order on-line.  

     When Mike isn't growing our Shiitake Mushrooms or building for the farm, he is busy creating lovely wood products, ornaments, pendants and keepsake boxes. Some of the wood is sourced from our own land and some is repurposed.  To view and purchase these and our other crafts please visit or Etsy Shop or our Facebook Page.  Or maybe you'll see us one of the local craft fairs!

     Walking our land gives us such a 'sweet relief' from every day stresses, that we want to share with others this uplifting feeling.  Be assured that walks, tours, labyrinth meditations, and workshops will be offered throughout the year. So please come and enjoy!
