Welcome To North Branch Farm

At North Branch Farm, we work to build a thriving community and economy by providing delicious high-quality food to our neighbors and community members, improving our land from year to year, and earning a living together as a family.

We are a family-owned and -run, mixed tractor-, hand- and horse-powered organic farm located on 330 acres of fields and woodland in Monroe, Maine. Currently we specialize in producing grass-fed beef, u-pick highbush blueberries, seed garlic, apples, pears, and bare-root fruit trees.
