About our Farm
Full Fork is located on 102-acres in Kennebec County, Maine. The farm is 1.5-miles from the northeast corner of China Lake where we grow an abundance of fruits and veggies.
In 2020, we planted out 13 acres of perennial nuts and fruit crops in a complex agroforestry system.
OUR PRACTICES
Our farm practices are based on an understanding that we are able to grow food packed with flavor and nutrition best by feeding the soil that feeds us. Flavorful, nutritious food translates to healthy bodies.
You are, after all, what you eat.
Our farm was a participant in MOFGA's journeyperson program, a recipient of three SARE Farmer Research Grants through the USDA (2017, 2020, 2024), and are a supporting member of the Bionutrient Food Association.
We are not yet organically certified, but our inputs and practices follow alongside organic standards. We are happy to talk you about our production methods!
What is agroforestry?
Agroforestry is a crop system that applies relationships found in natural ecosystems to the efficiencies that come with row crop farming. The ultimate goal of the farm is to always have some sort of fruit or nut in harvest during the growing season.
For us, this includes:
TREE CROPS
chestnuts, heartnuts, buartnuts, apples, pear, peach, plum, pawpaw, and mulberry
CANES, SHRUBS, & CROWNS
strawberry, honeyberry, kiwiberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, dwarf sour cherry, saskatoon, hazelnut, and rhubarb
Not all of these are producing yet, but we look forward to adding them as the years progress!
