Produce that feeds Land, Body & Community

↓

A Certified Organic farm specializing in greens & herbs, and a community space, The Hive, waiting for you.

For over 20 years, we’ve been a production farm, specializing in produce for chefs and farmers’ markets in Midcoast and Southern Maine. In 2018 we moved to our forever land in Bowdoinham.

We love vegetables & herbs that are small, intensely flavored, and often pushing the boundaries of the norm.

THE HIVE is our dream of bringing inspired dinner conversations to life. A newly built timber framed space, we have programs for you, as well as a space for you to rent in the middle of our working farm.

Storytelling Workshop with Leigh Tillman

$0.00

Please note: all tickets must be purchased on Leigh’s website here

Stories conjure our humanness, foster connection, and compel us. At the very essence of our lives and our work there are stories.

Exploring these narratives helps us to gain perspective, convey the significance and impact of what we do, and engage others. From conversations with friends to engaging others in our work and community projects; requesting support; motivating a team; or telling who we are now and where we are headed during times of transition, we are telling stories every day.

Yet how often do we take the time to look at how we tell the stories of our lives and work and how others hear them? What makes a story engaging? What makes someone want to listen? What makes our message really land?

In this interactive and engaging workshop we will determine the stories we want to tell, learn and utilize techniques that help us effectively convey our stories, practice telling engaging stories, and learn from one another what is effective in our storytelling.

We will share in a delicious, simple lunch feast prepared by Dandelion Spring Farm with food from the land.

We believe that the more connected we are to our food source, the more we allow ourselves to touch, taste, feel, and sense the environment around us, the healthier we are. Building this awareness is hard and takes time, and sometimes being in the company of others helps. The Hive, a building to gather in, is our version of the modern grange and a place where we can practice what we preach.
