Mary's Land Farm

At Mary’s Land Farm, our mission is to cultivate connection — between people, animals, and the land. We steward the earth through regenerative farming practices, produce nourishing food raised with care, and create experiences that invite our community to learn, taste, and grow alongside us. From our pastures to our farm store, events, and educational programs, we’re dedicated to fostering appreciation for local agriculture, ethical stewardship, and the simple joy of farm life. We hope you'll visit us at the farm store, at our Historic Inn for overnight stays, to enjoy and event or workshop, or a seasonal festival!
