Ten Apple Farm

About Ten Apple Farm

Ten Apple Farm is a diversified homestead and agri-tourism business in southern Maine. On 18 acres of land, we tend a small herd of Alpine dairy goats, assorted poultry, and a large kitchen garden. We lead goat hikes and host farm stays in our guest house located on the farm. We’re gradually rehabilitating our apple orchard, while renovating our 1901 farmhouse with attached barn, built on the traditional New England plan: Big house, little house, back house, barn. We hand milk our goats and make yogurt and cheese, some of which we age in the house’s stone cellar. Throughout the year, we keep a flock of heritage laying hens, and in the summer we raise chickens, ducks and turkeys for meat. Every year we work to expand the garden and the growing season, with a goal of modest self-sufficiency. To that end, we put up as much food as we can for the winter: Freezing, canning, pickling, and drying throughout the summer and fall. We welcome visitors–to the website and the farm–and we encourage you to be in touch if you’d like to stop by. In addition to our goat hikes and farm stays we offer occasional workshops on basic homesteading skills, led by us and by more knowledgeable members of the food and farming community.
