Farm ID 603

The owner of Winterberry Farms is looking to retire and sell the property located at 538 Augusta Road, Belgrade, Maine. Winterberry Farm is a certified horse and oxen powered farm located near Great Pond in the heart of the Belgrade Lakes area in Central Maine. There are 40 acres of tillable certified organic farmland, a three-story, 4 bedroom Victorian farmhouse, a historic barn that is in the national registry of historic places, and a full service farm store with commercial kitchen. The barn has housed many types of events including weddings and operations including sleigh rides, kids camps, pick your own produce and flowers, and local CSA. The farm currently has vegetables, livestock, fruit orchard, berry bushes, cut flowers, maple syrup, honey and Christmas trees. While the business itself (and Winterberry Farm name) is not for sale, a farmer would have the opportunity to purchase the hoop houses and equipment on site. The property has been a farm since 1870 and the deep history of public engagement through agritourism provides a runway for a new farmer to build off. The property is being offered at $820,000 under an easement held by 7 Lake Alliance. The current owner really wants to see the land stay in productive agriculture and support the next generation of farmers.
