Lovely store and helpful staff. The zucchini salsa was yummy. The freeze-dried veggies are great for my homemade soups. Thank you.
A Maine Experience.
It is worth the drive to Turner to get to this farm. All kinds of food items, veggies, meats, honey, snacks and treats. Second floor has everything you could ever need for knitting and related crafts.
I’ve been a regular for 10 years now. This farm is a special place, there’s no where else like it. They truly care about our community, health, wellness, and good stewardship of the land. They provide not only excellent food and other goods made by them or others locally, but they give back to the community in more ways than one. They’ve helped my family more than once over the years and I will forever be grateful for the Varney family and the community they have built. Not to mention the food is 10/10!
My favorite local place! Baked goods, coffees, and all the cool stuff they sell like cheeses and milk are amazing.
Friendly ish staff but we ordered poutine had time to go walk around the entire animal area and see all the animals come walk back in around the entire store and the lady didn’t even start the food yet, mind you this was about 25-30 min later. Completely insane and for my step son to get a cake brownie it was $5 for a little square that was dry. From a farm stand type of store I’d expect more better prices for the community.
This was my first visit, but not my last! My veggie omelette & toast for breakfast was delicious. I bought a loaf of Anadama & Wheat bread to bring home - so good. I'm looking forward to my next visit, so that I can check out the rest of the Store.
My father-in-law brought us here as the first stop on a recent trip to Maine. I could have spent hours looking at yarn. We ordered breakfast, I had delicious blueberry waffles and shared the hash with my partner (SO good!) I ended up buying some cotton pima and buttons (the button selection 😍), and have since completed a cardigan with it. This was a special stop on our trip — I love look forward to returning.
Nezinscot Farm in Turner, Maine was the state's first certified organic dairy and runs a farm store, cafe, fromagerie making raw milk cheeses, full diet CSA, yarn shop and herbal apothecary.
Nezinscot Farm sits at 284 Turner Center Road in Turner, Maine, and became the first certified organic dairy in the state in 1994. The family milks 90 to 125 cows, a mix of Holsteins, Jerseys and Brown Swiss, without antibiotics or hormones, and grows 90 percent of the herd's feed on the farm. Milk ships wholesale through the Organic Valley cooperative, while the farm's own fromagerie turns raw cow and goat milk into hard and soft cheeses made on site.
The farmhouse holds a farm store, cafe and bakery, with bread and pastries baked fresh daily and a menu built from the farm's own cheese and meats. A year round full diet CSA offers farm raised beef, pork, chicken, dairy, eggs and vegetables. There is also a yarn shop stocked from the farm's own sheep, llamas, alpacas and goats, and an herbal apothecary run by owner Gloria Varney.
