Maple Lane Farms
Maple Lane Farms is a five generation family farm and butcher in Charleston, Maine, selling locally raised beef, pork, chicken and lamb from its farm store, with custom processing and hay sales.
Maple Lane Farms is a five generation family farm in Charleston, Maine, farmed by the Higgins family since 1935.
Today it runs around 700 naturally raised beef cattle, a state inspected processing facility with an automated smokehouse, and one of the largest hay dealing operations in the northeastern United States. The farm retail store sells locally raised beef, pork, chicken and lamb, every cut done by hand, sealed and flash frozen straight from the cutting rooms with no old stock.
Ordering works by call in: the team fills your order and calls when it is ready, with cash, card and EBT accepted at the store, which opens seven days a week. The farm also sells its Black Label Reserve home raised beef, hay, silage and screened compost, and takes custom processing appointments for customers who raise their own animals. They cheerfully call themselves the candy store for the carnivore.

This is where we buy all of our meats. It is so convenient. We follow them on Facebook and they are constantly putting out special packages. We do a lot of the 10-pound sales, which often have some great pricing for stocking up your freezer. You call in the order and it's usually packages within a day or two. They call you when it's ready and you just pull up to the door when you arrive and they load it into the back of your vehicle. Meats are great and packaged in good portion sizes.
