Interested in volunteering for a one-day-a-week gig? We were so grateful to Helen for helping out one day a week in the store. If you’re a community member interested to do a “day shift ” or even a “half day shift”we would be so happy to either pay or barter for your time. It’s a good place to come and work if you like to be social, lots of chatting goes on at the store!
We also sell from our webshop, through Faire, and wholesale to many shops in Maine and beyond.
We also host U-Pick for our organic strawberries, blueberries and cranberries.
Most of the farm is forested with spruce, balsam fir, larch, maple, and birch and some queenly white pines; we invite campers to stay on the farm and enjoy the stars, the breezes, the sea mist, migrating birds, mossy trails and quiet beaches in every direction. The farm is protected by a conservation easement from Maine Coast Heritage Trust and adjoins conserved lands in many directions.
We host campers: You can book your camping with Hipcamp.
Every year Smithereen Farm hosts workshops, lectures and outings thanks to our sister organization Greenhorns. You can also make arrangements to visit the agrarian library at Reversing Hall, 4 Leighton Point Rd in Pembroke. Open by chance or appointment: email [email protected] to request an appointment.

This landscape hosts a compelling curriculum of commons management and natural-resource governance issues which we explore with our www.seaweedcommons.org project. Cobscook Bay’s 20-foot tides and cold Labrador currents means that micro and macro algae drive a surging marine ecology that attracts schooling fish, whales and migrating birds.
