Kyle returned to the farm operation after graduating college and has assumed the responsibility of starting all our seedlings in the spring. He oversees the plants from the seed stage, growth in the greenhouse, and when they get planted outside, where he is responsible for fertilizing and helping maintain their growth until harvest time.

Janet Spear

Janet wears many hats including marketing, ordering products and scheduling staff, but her primary focus is management of the daily operation of their two farm stands.  You will find her presence almost daily at our Waldoboro farm stand, where she puts in countless hours baking, discovering new local products, and offering excellent recipe suggestions to our customers.

Dick Spear

Sweet Corn is Our Specialty! Dick’s main concentration in the spring is planting acres and acres of sweet corn plus silage corn for the cows.  He has it right down to a science as to when to plant specific varieties of sweet corn to have on the shelf the entire season.

Terry Spear

Terry's primary responsibility throughout the year is managing all of our beef cattle, as well as the herd of animals we board for another farmer-which is a 365 day chore! When he is able to get free from the barn, he helps oversee and assists with the planning and planting of our small vegetables, squash, and pumpkins.

Jeff Spear

Jeff's major springtime job is keeping our tractors, plows, spreaders, and harrows in high gear. He spends many hours on a tractor year-round, whether he is preparing the land in the spring, planting in the spring and summer, haying fields, and overseeing our IPM program.

    • Dual walk-in coolers maintain precise temperatures to ensure peak freshness for every batch of produce.

    Our Daily Workflow

    1. Harvest – Field-picked each morning by our farm team.

    2. Wash – Cleaned in our specialized stations designed for gentle handling.

    3. Inspect – Quality checks for size, color, and firmness.

    4. Pack – Neatly boxed for stands, markets, and store deliveries.

    5. Store – Transferred to climate-controlled coolers to lock in freshness.

    This streamlined process ensures our vegetables arrive fresh, flavorful, and ready for you without unnecessary handling or delays.

    Built for Growth
    Whether it’s squash, peppers, or pumpkins, our facility handles it all with ease. From shaker tables for beans to tailored washing setups, every area is optimized for productivity.
