General Farm Description: Full Moon Farm is a diversified organic vegetable farm in Rockport, Maine, between the mountains and the sea at the original pre-air-conditioning vacation destination in MidCoast Maine, where the summer days are beautiful, never too hot, and pond or ocean is always close by. We grow intensively on one acre using skilled handwork and no-till methods. Our mission is to grow food of exceptional quality, and to creating a thriving farm ecosystem of plants, animals, and people. We believe everyone should have access to great food and we’re committed to growing ten percent of our produce to feed food-insecure members of our community.
