Our Work

We are working to create place-based, regenerative agricultural solutions to climate change driven by an educated consumer base, connected farmers, and a thriving food producer community.

Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture and the Environment is a nonprofit, farm-based education, research, and visitor center situated on over 600 acres of coastal farmland in Freeport, ME. Wolfe’s Neck Center is on a mission to transform our relationship with farming and food by facilitating knowledge and best practice sharing, educating a wide variety of learners, and convening a community of people who care about the future of food.  

From farmers to consumers to businesses, a whole system approach is necessary to adequately address the complex problems we are facing.

This looks like:

Demonstration & Education Farm

Utilizing our unique campus to educate, support, and connect farmers, consumers, and food systems leaders by hosting apprenticeships, internships, on-farm workshops, and educational programs.
