Fryeburg / Maine / United States
Green Thumb Farms Green Thumb Farms has been farming in Western Maine since 1965. Farming 2000 acres of rich Saco River Valley soil has firmly established our reputation for quality potatoes, turf, dry beans and corn. Our third generation family farm strives to preserve Maines open spaces and agricultural heritage. Our agricultural roots lie in the production of the highest quality Maine potatoes. We grow and market several varieties of potatoes to supermarkets, food service distributors and processors, and we recently added organic potatoes to our product list. We use Good Agricultural Practices ( GAP ) when growing and packaging our products. Currently our packaging facility utilizes several quality control devices including a Hagan Slide Ejection Sizer, hollow heart detection, and stainless steel equipment. Our state-of-the-art technology enables us to ensure quality potatoes in every bag. Not only do we pride ourselves on the excellence of our product, but also on our ability to trace back each potato directly to the field where it was grown. Green Thumbs turf business grows two varieties, Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue blend. We market directly to landscapers, golf courses and the sports turf industry, as well as homeowners. We pride ourselves on our customer service and prompt delivery. We love to have customers visit our fields and see for themselves the quality that our rich soil guarantees. The lush green grass sells itself on every visit! Recently, Green Thumb Farms purchased Riverside Farm, allowing us to diversify into the dry bean business that the previous owners had established. Currently, we grow New England heirloom bean varieties such as Jacobs Cattle, Yellow Eye, Soldier, and Red Kidney. Typically these varieties are used in baked beans, but they also work well in soups and stews.
