Wolfe's Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment (formerly Wolfe's Neck Farm)[1] is a sustainable coastal farm in Freeport, Maine, United States. Located at 184 Burnett Road, the farm was established in 1959 by Philadelphia natives Eleanor Houston Smith (1910–1987)[2] and Lawrence Smith (1902–1975).[2] [3] [4]
The farm was given to the University of Southern Maine by Eleanor Smith in 1985. Twelve years later, Wolfe's Neck Farm Foundation took over the management of the property.[3]
In addition to the farm, the property, which is situated on 4mile of Casco Bay coastline, also contains the main office building (located in the 1820s-built Little River House; renovated in 2017),[5] a barn, a campground (Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Camping at Recompence Shore Campground), a farm store and cafe, community gardens, hiking trails,[6] the 1890-constructed Mallet Barn (at the end of Wolfe's Neck Road), the Banter House (restored in 2014; at the junction of Burnett and Wolfe's Neck Roads) and the Pote House and Barn (restored in 2017; on Wolfe's Neck Road).[3] The Wishcamper Livestock Education Barn was built in 2017[7] where a barn, torn down in 2008, previously stood.[5] An organic dairy barn, built at a cost of $1 million, opened in May 2019.[8]
Wolfe's Neck Farm was renamed Wolfe's Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment in October 2017.
In 2019, Wolfe's Neck Center received a donation of $25,000 from Kennebec Savings Bank "to support enhancements to its facilities."[9]
