Steven and Hannah Abbott moved from Pennsylvania to Steven’s hometown of Sumner, Maine in January of 2008 to follow their dreams of living on a farm and raising a family in a quiet rural community.  Early that spring, Steven tapped maple trees on his father’s farm and made about forty gallons of maple syrup.  Since then, Steven has thinned the maple orchards, built a new sap house, and in 2010 Abbott’s Maple Syrup made nearly 200 gallons of syrup and was certified organic by MOFGA.

Welcome to Borealis Breads

At Borealis, warmth is our business. We are passionate about our baking and truly understand the art of making fine artisan breads, using only traditional European methods. Gently shaping each loaf by hand and allowing for slow proofing, our breads develop their unique characteristics and complex flavors only to be enhanced by being baked in our stone deck ovens. We’re proud of our exceptionally flavorful products and hope you’ll share our love of good bread as a part of a good life. We make bread the way it was always done; by hand and one loaf at a time.

Our Commitment is Fresh Bread

Our love and interest in herbs is how our Soapworks evolved. We wanted to create the purest and as natural products we could and believed it was time to step back to our natural resources.  We create many of our herbal products from our own healthy herb gardens, local wild crafters & other certified growers.  

Herbs and pure oils.. an idea understood by everyone, offer powerful effects when incorporated into skin care products.  We handcraft our herbal treasures, in small batches combining fine olive oils, rich unrefined Fair Trade shea and cocoa butters, palm kernal oil, coconut, rice bran, soybean, jojoba, evening primrose & apricot oils.. just to name a few..

Heart's Content Homestead, owners Peter Kellman and Rebekah Yonan, NBFM Market Manager

The seed that started our organic homestead was planted back in 1964 when Helen and Scott Nearing asked Peter to come work that fall at their homestead.   Pete was 18 years old and grew a lot as he worked side by side with the Nearings.   By 1976 he had bought 5 acres in North Berwick and cleared the land to make way for a cabin and garden.  That year he built a 10' by 16' camp on posts and the first garden was planted among the stumps of the recently-cut trees.   For more than 30 years now, hundreds of stumps have been removed to clear the way for the expansion of the house, the outbuildings and most importantly, the garden.

Kelly Orchards is a family farm founded in 1982.  We specialize in tree fruit and also raise berries, pumpkins and fall squash.  Our crops are grown using Integrated Pest Management (IPM).  IPM uses cultural practices, natural predators and pesticides to control pests and diseases with as little impact on the environment as possible.  We monitor pest presence in the orchard by scouting, using pest specific traps, weather conditions and degree-day models to predict pest in-migration.  We use cultural practices and careful selection of pesticides to promote natural controls and predators of pests.  We time sprays to only spray when pests are present and have reached damaging levels and use selective rather than broad spectrum pesticides with low toxicity to non-target organisms so there is minimal impact on the environment.

Tic-Toc Farm was started in 1959 by Harlan Clock.  From then until 1983 it was an operating 40 cow dairy farm.  The cattle were dispersed in 1983 and the farm was sold in 1985.  Dale Clock acquired the present Tic-Toc Farm in 1981.  In 1985 Dale asked his father, Harlan, if he could carry on the Tic-Toc Farm name.  Since 1985 the farm has been many things.  It has been a hay for sale farm but mostly a 50 cow dairy farm.  In 1997 Dale acquired the Clark-Hobbs homestead.  This homestead was a subsistence and truck vegetable farm starting in 1901 when No Butler Hobbs and his wife moved in to raise their family.  Their two sons Vinton and Malcolm Hobbs carried on until they couldn't any longer.  Dale has continued the farm since 1997.  The farm now has a few dairy cows and recently added a small herd of beef. 

In 2009 Tic-Toc joined the NBFM and branched into egg production. We bring to market surplus from our gardens as well as fresh eggs from our young hens.  Also, we sell some of the best crop we have; rocks.  Every spring we pick a new crop and put them in walls to age gracefully.  Once fully-ripened, we harvest them from the walls and bring them to the North Berwick Farmers' Market to sell.
