Summer is fast approaching, and you probably need a new sticker or two for your water bottle, right? Friend (and employee!) of the farm , a Harpswell-based illustrator, designed this amazing pride sticker for us, featuring the one and only "Brown Truck," Ben's old reliable and the original Whatley Farm truck! For every sticker sold, we will be donating $1 to EqualityMaine's Network for Older Adults (formerly SAGEMaine).

Speaking of donations, this week we are also donating 1% of sales to ***rlyme, a Brunswick-based organization working to foster support networks and get the LGBTQ+ community outside! Keep your eyes peeled for their events.

And with the solstice fast approaching, many of our seedlings are about jumping out of their pots. Starting tomorrow, our tomatoes and squash will be buy 2 get one free (of equal or lesser value). There's still time to plant!

We will be at the tomorrow on the green from 8-1 and at the market at .me on Saturday from 8:30-12:30, so stop by before Brunswick Pride for plants, greens, herbs, 🌈RAINBOW CHARD, and more!

Happy Pride, everyone! As we do every year, we are donating to a different local organization serving the Maine LGBTQ+ community each week. This week, we are donating 1% of our sales to , which is based in Rockland and has an ambitious goal: to create more welcoming and affirming communities for Maine's diverse q***r kids and teens in all their intersectional identities. By supporting LGBTQ+ kids and their families, empowering q***r youth in our communities, and educating providers, OUT Maine works to lift up genderq***r, nonbinary, gay, bisexual, and other kids in Maine's isolated and under-resourced regions.

It's a perfect weekend to plant a garden, so come see us at the market until 12:30, where greenhouse manager Anna will be answering seedling questions all market!

Happy June! We are well and truly into warm weather planting season, so don't panic if you haven't planted your garden yet - we are hardening off thousands of baby peppers, eggplants and some tomatillos and husk cherries to plant tomorrow! And if you still need plants, we still have our FULL selection of tomatoes, cukes, peppers, squash and lots more, with some extra special hot weather crops debuting on Saturday (can you say OKRA???)

Find us downtown tomorrow at the from 8-1 with plants, greens, the return of kale bunches, romaine heads, and a handful of zucchini and BASIL.

Still need to buy your plants? Have questions? Greenhouse manager Anna will be at the Saturday market to assist! We will have all five seedling carts plus more, and of course veggies! Saturday is perfect planting weather, cool and cloudy with a rainy Sunday in the forecast.

We will NOT be at the market tomorrow, due to the cold and windy conditions. Our little seedlings (and even greens) aren't built for that - but what do you do if you've already planted your seedlings?

Protection from the wind is most important, which can be achieved as simply as putting a laundry basket with a large rock on top over larger plants. Covering with row cover or even a blanket with weighted down edges will keep tender crops safe and warm.

HOWEVER ...

You can still shop for seedlings out at the farm! We will be open in the afternoon on Saturday for sales, we are fully stocked on tomatoes, peppers, squash, cukes, flowers, herbs...

And if you really just wanted a bag of arugula or mustard mix or some big orange carrots, downtown has them!

Happy Friday!!! No recipe this week, because greenhouse manager Anna has been busy busy busy filling up the sale greenhouse with baby plants for your garden! Tomatoes, peppers, corn, eggplant, onions, herbs, flowers, cukes, squash, greens and more are all ready for you to plant! Even more varieties coming soon!

And if you've got questions, Anna will be at the Saturday market for awhile to answer them. Pick up your plants, salad greens and more! 🌱

It's TIME!!! The farm is officially OPEN for seedling sales for the 2026 planting season! 7am-7pm, 7 days a week! This weekend you'll find LOTS of perennial herbs, a veritable sea of 4 packs of greens, onions, leeks and other alliums, early flowers galore, basil, beans and peas, some cucumbers and squash, and....TOMATOES!!! Note that this is only one of four rounds of tomato seedlings, so you'll have plenty of chances to pick up your favorites on the farm or at our markets! Stay tuned for more (Peppers! Eggplants! Husk cherries! Melons! You get the idea!) as things continue to warm up outside.

Things are growing quickly in our tunnels as well! We have an absolute haul of lettuce mix, arugula, mustard mix, baby kale, SPINACH, and the return of the Asian mix! We've also got some sizable bok choi and the first few bunches of little radishes. Come brave the rain downtown on the mall at the from 8-1, or enjoy the sunshine on Saturday at the market at .me from 8:30-12:30.

What a week! This Tuesday, Ben was honored with the Mad Farmer Award from the , recognizing his unique and important role in the community, and the history of farming (or attempts at it) by the Whatley family on this land. Included in the celebration was a feast of farm recipes, a mouse-shaped pinata, and this incredible model of our one and only "brown truck," Ben's faithful companion since college.

We did our first couple rounds of planting with the new water wheel transplant system. Pretty cushy compared to kneeling in the mud! Kal and Claire are seen here planting kale and cabbage, and we plugged in kohlrabi, chard and bok choy once things dried out a little from the rain.

And SPEAKING of both farm recipes and cabbage, we've still got some storage cabbage rattling around, so Anna made a social-media-hype-inspired version of cabbage caramelized with butter and miso and tossed with pasta, but added shallot and fresh herbs for a farm-inspired twist. Come by and pick up ingredients to try it before you're stuck waiting for the babies in the field to mature!

We will be at the from 8-1 Friday and the market from 8:30-12:30 Saturday. More seedling varieties are available each market (tomatoes are still at least a week off!) and our on farm seedling sales may begin as early as next week, so keep your eyes peeled!

It's outdoor market kickoff weekend!!! We're so excited to be back on the mall downtown for the this Friday (and the following Tuesdays and Fridays) from 8-1 and out at beautiful .me from 8:30-12:30 on Saturday for the market!

Did you know we accept WIC payments, in addition to market-wide accepted SNAP and Senior Farm Share programs? WIC participants can download the BNFT app for a payment barcode. Feeding EVERYONE is why we farm so we participate in every benefit program we can, in addition to regularly donating to .

And speaking of eating more fruits and vegetables, we've still got lots of tasty red beets in storage and here's a fun way to use them: beet chorizo! A great addition to burritos, nachos, chili, or with goat cheese.

See you outside! 🫜

Onions, onions, onions! πŸ§…πŸ§…πŸ§… We have a LOT of lovely onions in storage to move and are running a sale, $3/lb red and yellow onions. Looking for a fun new way to use those onions? Try making a batch of onion jam! It's sweet, it's savory, it's got stout in it! Put it on toast, a burger, grilled cheese...let us know how you like to eat it if you try it.

This week is the LAST of the season, so come on by and stock up before we change gears to outdoor markets (yes, PLURAL) next week and start the seedling season.

Hey garlic lovers! If you haven't uncovered your garlic yet, now's the time! We recently removed the straw from our planting of garlic, since the dark soil will absorb more heat from the (stronger every day!) sun than the straw covering it would. In just a couple months we will be harvesting fresh garlic scapes for eating and making pesto! Have you tried our garlic scape pesto? Vegan and nut free, sure it's good on pasta, but we asked the crew how they like to use it around the kitchen and got a whole list of ideas together! There's plenty of 2025 pesto still frozen for you to bring home at the this weekend!

Wondering what else to fill your garden with this year? If you're on our email list, check your inbox for our updated planting guide and seedling book! Some new varieties and lots of old favorites are coming to the outdoor markets before you know it!
