New Beat Farm, is owned and operated by Adrienne Lee & Ken Lamson. We are a MOFGA Certified organic farm growing vegetables, flowers and herbs in heart of a rich agricultural community in Waldo County. We farm because it is the best way for us to live by our ideals and give back. Our farming reflects our interest in building healthy self-sufficient communities. We grow our food with the utmost care for soil fertility in an effort to produce the most nutrient dense food for our customers while at the same time minimizing our reliance on farm inputs from outside our bioregion. Our fields are worked by hand and by our team of workhorses Star and Jewel. Our Belgian Drafts, help us to reduce our use of fossil fuels in vegetable production and at the same time provide us with valuable fertilizer. With a combined experience of over ten years in organic farming we are confident in our ability to provide our shareholders with a reliable, well-balanced share throughout the growing season.
