The weather's warmer and Frank is out on the tractor (April 12th must be a record!) Tomato, pepper, onion and flower seedlings are growing in our house, waiting to be put in the greenhouse when it's warm enough. We'll be potting potato sprouts soon for your early new potatoes.

Located 3 miles from downtown Caribou on route 161 (beside the Caribou Country Club), McElwain's Strawberry Farm has been growing strawberries since 1985. The farm features pre-picked and U-pick strawberries which are generally sold from the end of June through most of July. A retired country schoolhouse serves as the farm's stand where a variety of vegetables including pumpkins, squash, cucumbers, sweet corn, string beans and tomatoes can be purchased when in season.
Pre-picked strawberries are sold at the farm in quart boxes. U-pick strawberries are sold by the pound.
Check here, our facebook page, or call the farm (207) 498-8276 before coming to pick strawberries. Weather conditions and customer demand will affect availability.
Hours of operation vary. Please call or check fb for updates.
