Welcome to Kennebec Flower Farm and Nursery!
Our business is a family business. We bought this farm in 1992 with the dual purpose of growing the highest-quality cut flowers and bedding plants, and raising our young children.
We settled in Bowdoinham, Maine because of its small town charm and quality of life, but more importantly, the quality of its soil. Fifteen acres of our land lies on the banks of the Kennebec River giving us fertile, silt-rich bottom land-- the perfect organic medium.
Bowdoinham, originally settled as a shipbuilding town, has always been an agriculturally-based community of self-sufficient farms. Residents raised market crops like apples, wheat, hay and potatoes. They harvested fish and ice from the rivers and wood from the forests, earning a decent if not extremely profitable living. This is where we live as a family and this is where we grow. We are committed to the traditions of our community.
Thank you for visiting our web site. We hope you like what you see and are inspired to visit us at one of our farmers’ markets, or make an appointment to come out to the farm.
