Rime Farm On Tumbler

Rime Farm is a sustainable and regenerative organic farm encompassing 143 total acres used to cultivate certified organic CSAs, organic wild blueberries, free-range eggs, 100% Grass-Fed Beef, organic vegetables, and fruit tree crops and pasture raised poultry and pork. The farm’s success is due to its biodiversity and efficiency. From the standpoint of the farm, agricultural biodiversity ameliorates animal health, soil health, and water health. From the consumer’s standpoint, Rime offers a whole farm shopping experience in an agri-tourist setting. CSAs are robust, diverse, and provided weekly during the harvest season from early June to early October. Our farm stand is open during the harvest season each Sunday from Noon to 2 pm and you can find us as the Calais and Lubec Farmers Markets. Check out our events page on Facebook for Children's Workshops, Haunted Hay Rides and More!
