About Beech Hill Farm
Beech Hill Farm is a MOFGA-certified organic farm. The 73-acre property includes six acres of fields in vegetable production, three small heirloom apple orchards, pasture land for pigs and poultry, five greenhouses, and open forest. College of the Atlantic Beech Hill Farm is a working farm growing certified organic vegetables for COA and the wider community. The farm serves as a living laboratory where College of the Atlantic students and faculty engage with agriculture as a central concern of human ecology. Collaborative work and planning between Beech Hill Farm and the kitchen is helping COA form a more sustainable system of food production and consumption. In addition to providing locally and sustainably raised meat and produce to COA, Beech Hill Farm operates a seasonal farm stand, offers a CSA program, sells to local markets and restaurants and provides access to food insecure residents of Mount Desert Island through our student-run Share the Harvest program. Beech Hill Farm provides educational opportunities to COA students and community members through our work-study program, independent projects, summer work program, class visits, events, and workshops.
