***It's sign-up time for the Maine Senior FarmShare Program***
The USDA provides a grant to the Maine Dept. of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry to fund this program, providing eligible low-income adults the opportunity to receive a share worth $50 of fresh local produce directly from Maine farmers.
To take part in MSFP, you must:
• Be a Maine resident
• Be 60 years old or older
55 years old or older for Native Americans
18 years old or older for disabled adults living in senior housing with a cafeteria.
• Meet the 2025 Income Guidelines, with a gross income (including all pensions, social security, and other payments) at or below:
$27,861 per year for a one-person household;
$37,814 per year for a two-person household;
$47,757 per year for a three-person household;
$57,720 per year for a four-person household.
(Note: The combined income of all members in the household must be counted towards meeting income eligibility guidelines.)
You can sign up with only one farm per season, and you must sign up again every year.
If you meet these requirements and would like to sign up with our farm this season, give us a call at 498-8276.
Feel free to call with any questions, as well.
Strawberries may be the most popular crop grown on the McElwain farm, but we sell a variety of vegetables and small fruits during the summer and fall.
A retired country schoolhouse serves as the farmstand, where we sell lettuce, beet greens, chard, cukes, peas, new potatoes, string beans, tomatoes, summer squash, zucchini, sweet corn, green peppers, broccoli, apples, carrots, onions, pumpkin and squash.
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.
