Who We Are
We are Andrew and Becky Toothacker. We purchased Hart Farm in 2019, choosing to keep the original name of the farm to honor the agricultural legacy of the Hart Family.
We met in our early 20’s, while living in community and studying Biodynamic agriculture as apprentices on farms on the East Coast.
Hart Farm is a labor of our love, bringing our dreams to fruition. Whether it’s our produce, flowers, pork, beef or our on-farm dinners, we couldn’t be happier to be providing the Greater Bangor Area with everything our farm has to offer.
We look forward to having you join our community!
Our Practices
We are a MOFGA Certified Organic vegetable farm with a background in Biodynamic practices.
We view our farm as a functioning organism, placing emphasis on the interdependent nature of all aspects of our farm and business: be it our fields, soils, plants, animals, compost or the people who are a part of our farm - all making up the spirit of the place!
The CSA Model
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA Members purchase their “share” prior to the start of the growing season. This gives the farmer needed capital when they require it most. CSA funds are invested back into the farm by purchasing yearly inputs such as seeds, soil or amendments.
In return for their investment, members receive the benefit of weekly produce pickups at the farm - the best that week has to offer!
Here at Hart Farm, we want to ensure that our CSA Members find their experience convenient and enjoyable. We encourage our members to mingle during pickup hours, say hello to our pigs and cows, shop in our retail area or walk the gardens and HLT trail system. Included in each summer CSA share are u-pick produce options!
CSA Members benefit from the flexibility of two on-farm pickup days: Friday, 1-6 and Saturday, 9-6. Members can choose their pickup days and times at their own discretion.
This year, we are offering a 10-week Summer CSA and a 6-week Fall CSA.
The Summer CSA runs June 19th/20th through September 4th/5th. Members can choose 10 out of the 12 weeks offered to collect their share. There is no pre-selection required; simply come on the weeks that work best for your schedule!
