Ararat Farms in Lincolnville

Perched on a ridge above the picturesque Pitcher Pond, Ararat Farms in Lincolnville has been part of the community for generations, evolving and expanding while staying true to its roots. This highly diversified small-scale farm is committed to organic and regenerative farming practices, focusing not only on growing food but also on nurturing the environment and the community.

With hundreds of acres of wooded land and about a dozen acres of fields, pastures, and gardens, the farm operates under a self-serve/honor system, allowing customers to come and go as they please. Open 365 days a year from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Ararat Farms offers fresh, locally grown produce, grains, eggs, and a variety of prepared foods—all available through a simple system where you can pay by credit card, cash, or check.

One of the unique aspects of Ararat Farms is their belief that "food is medicine." This guiding principle shapes everything they do, from the nutrient-dense food they grow to their commitment to environmental stewardship. They integrate permaculture principles and focus on pollinators, ensuring their farming methods benefit both the land and the creatures that depend on it. For Ararat Farms, it’s not just about producing food; it’s about fostering a thriving ecosystem.

Currently in a phase of revitalization, Ararat Farms is buzzing with new ideas, expansions, and a passionate team that harmonizes individual talents with the broader goals of the farm. Their chefs, Jason Schellin and Frank Giglio, are the masterminds behind the delicious prepared foods available at the farm stand, giving visitors the chance to enjoy high-quality, farm-to-table meals.

Ararat Farms isn’t just a place to visit—it’s a cornerstone of the Midcoast Maine community. You can also find them at the United Farmers Market in Belfast every Saturday, where they bring the best of their fresh goods directly to market-goers.
