Riverside Farm Stand & Greenhouse
Bringing fresh veggies, fruits, plants and locally made goods to North Berwick and beyond since the 1740s.
North Berwick’s Family Farm
since 1743
At our Farm Stand on Elm Street (Route 4), we have two greenhouses filled to the brim with seasonal plants and a store, featuring a full kitchen, packed with local foods, produce, and treats the whole family will love.
Many of our offerings change throughout the year to make sure our inventory is as fresh and in-season as possible. At our Farm Stand you’ll find beautiful flowering pots, tomato plants, oven-ready meals, grass-fed beef, summer salads, our famous apple cider donuts, creamy delicious fudge, Farmer Dave’s relish, and more!
We take pride in knowing we are constantly striving to provide you with the highest quality of local produce and products possible. Thank you for supporting our farm and for supporting our Buy Local, Eat Local philosophy.
Why Buy Local?
Locally grown food tastes and looks better.
Crops marketed close to home are picked at their peak and usually sold within 24 hours of harvesting. Imported food has to travel on trucks or planes and then it is stored in warehouses until it’s sent to a distributor or retailer.
Local food supports local families and builds community.
Buying directly from farmers helps farm families to be able to afford to keep farming their land, cutting out the middleman who takes his share of the profits. Plus, you’re supporting a local business and investing in your community.
Local food benefits the environment and local wildlife.
Maine farmers are leaders in the use of environmentally sound growing practices. Our farms include environments that provide essential habitat for wildlife. On average the food we get from large retailers and grocery stores travels 1,500 miles from farm to plate, and each calorie of food produced requires 7-10 calories of fossil-fuel inputs from travel, refrigeration and processing. Purchasing locally-grown food is an easy way to do your part in limiting the use of fossil-fuels and the adverse effects of global warming from increased carbon emissions.
