Discover the Treasures of Green Garden Farm

A Certified Organic Oasis in the Heart of Maine

Welcome to Green Garden Farm, a 27-acre certified organic oasis nestled in the rolling hills of St. Albans, Maine. Founded in the early 1900s, this multigenerational family farm has blossomed into a premier destination for agritourists and food enthusiasts alike.

Garlic: The Pungent Pride of Green Garden Farm

At the heart of our operations lies our passion for growing the finest organic garlic. We specialize in heirloom German Extra Hardy, Georgian Crystal, and Georgian Fire varieties, meticulously cultivated using time-honored, sustainable methods. Each year, we plant over 1,300 lbs of seed garlic, resulting in a bountiful harvest of nearly 45,000 bulbs - a true testament to the fertility of our soil and the dedication of our team.

Our garlic is certified organic by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), one of the country's oldest and most respected organic certifying bodies. We believe in farming practices that leave the land in better condition than when we found it, nurturing the soil with generous helpings of organic matter and allowing beneficial microbes to thrive. The result? Garlic that is not only exceptionally flavorful, but also grown in harmony with nature.

Peony Perfection: A Riot of Color and Fragrance

In addition to our renowned garlic, Green Garden Farm is home to over 5,000 mature peony plants, boasting an impressive array of 50 exceptional varieties. From the towering, coral-hued blooms of 'Coral Charm' to the delicate, lemon-chiffon petals of 'Lemon Chiffon', our fields burst with color and fragrance during the peak of summer.

Each June, we open our doors to visitors for our annual Peony Farm Tour, inviting guests to wander through the rows and marvel at the stunning displays. Many of our peonies are destined for local florists and event planners, but we also offer potted plants and freshly cut flowers for those who wish to bring a piece of our farm home.

Sustainability in Action

At Green Garden Farm, we are committed to sustainable practices that benefit both the land and our community. In addition to our organic certification, we employ a range of eco-friendly techniques, including crop rotation, cover cropping, and the use of natural fertilizers. Our on-site composting program transforms agricultural waste into nutrient-rich soil amendments, closing the loop and ensuring that our land remains healthy and productive for generations to come.
