Tender Soles Farm

Tender Soles Farm is a horse-powered mixed vegetable, herb, and flower farm with a focus on education, located in Richmond, ME. We have a summer market share CSA, a winter pantry share, and attend three farmers markets in central Maine. We also sell to the Gardiner Food Coop and online food buying club. We also have a farm stand located at our farm in Richmond. We host year-round on-farm education events including horse-powered haying demonstrations, fermentation classes, honey bee workshops, and seed saving classes.
