Checkerberry Farm in Parkman, Maine

"We started our farm in 1981. We’ve been MOFGA Certified Organic since 1990. We are located in southern Piscataquis County in the Maine Central Highlands.
Our farm has grown over the years from animals and farmer's markets to primarily wholesale vegetables, seedlings, flowers and herbs.

We believe food is medicine. Both our soil and our bodies need to be fed in an appropriately healthy way. We’ve grown many cultivated herbs over the years both annual and perennial. We’ve embraced and encouraged many wild herbs to grow on 100 acres as well. We’ve used many of these plants in our home apothecary over the years.
We are excited to be involved with a collaborative. 
We are excited that our communities are learning about and utilizing these amazing plants as well.

Renee worked at Checkerberry for 4 years and after harvesting their nettle for years for personal use, connected with Meeting House Farm to harvest the full bounty of Checkerberry's years of stewarding this lovely medicinal.
