Are you interested in becoming a farm member this season? The deadline to join is March 31 so this is a great time to learn more!

Come meet the farm owners to hear what membership is all about and what we’re looking forward to this year!

We’ll give you a quick tour of the farm which, in late March, might mean trekking through snowy paths to admire our seed-starting systems and different growing spaces!

Free and no need to sign up - just show up at The Pod - our big building - located at 254 Log Cabin Road.

Come dive into the world of sustainable agriculture and gardening at Frinklepod Farm with a focus on perennial crops and native plants.

Do you love the idea of growing and caring for perennial plants?

Come learn about how you can grow fruit trees and perennial food crops, as well as how to incorporate native plants into your landscape!

Lee Sullivan of Kennebunk Area Native Plants will start the morning sharing the benefits and wonders of adding native plants to your home garden or yard. She'll demonstrate how to sow seeds, send you home with some seeds to start yourself, and give you a preview of what native plants you can purchase later in the spring!

Next, learn from Farmer Noah about his successes and challenges with growing, organically, a wide variety of perennial fruit crops over the past 3+ decades. From rhubarb to elderberry, grapes to hazelnut, he will have something to share about almost everything.

Finally, go outside with Noah to learn the basics of fruit tree pruning. You will be invited to try out what you learn on our apple, peach, and pear trees as well as raspberry bushes.

Topics covered:

• the best tool for each pruning task

• different approaches for different tree varieties

• timing and frequency of pruning

• techniques to ensure healthy healing of the tree

• establishing a strong "scaffold" for long-term strength of the tree

• dwarf, semi dwarf, and standard tree sizes and root stock

• bonus: pruning cane fruit such as raspberries and black raspberries

This workshop will happen rain or shine; please come prepared for the weather!

Learn all about the fascinating lives of monarchs, and what is being done to protect them, with Maine Master Naturalist Rebekah Lowell.

Monarchs are in danger. They are currently on the red list and need help. If you’ve been curious about monarch conservation, this program is for you. Over the past 8+ years, local artist and Maine Master Naturalist, Rebekah Lowell, has rescued, tagged, and released over 1,800 monarchs from local hayfields and at-risk habitat.* She shares this work on instagram (@rebekahlowell) and in her newsletter, as well as with friends and family who like to stop by and check on the project. And now she’s sharing about her work with others through programs like this one. Learn about how she spends hours a day finding, collecting, raising, tagging, and releasing hundreds of monarchs a season in a homemade conservatory she and her father built last summer. And, learn what you can do to help!

*The State of Maine has issued a permit for monarch collection and conservation.

Please note that this presentation will take place on the second floor of The Pod, our winterized building on the farm.

Honor the closing of winter with release and softening. Embrace Spring to receive nourishment through manifestation and art.

Release to Receive is a soulful day retreat for women created to honor the closing of winter and the gentle return of spring. As the season shifts this gathering offers a supportive space to slow down. A time to reflect on what winter has been asking you to hold and lovingly release what is ready to be let go.

Together, we will create space for renewal, clarity, and intention as we welcome the energy of spring and open ourselves to receiving what is ready to grow. This retreat is an invitation to rest, reconnect with yourself, and step into the new season feeling lighter, grounded, and open.

Inspired loosely by the story of “Stone Soup,” in which a group of villagers contribute simple ingredients to a pot of boiling water to make a pot of delicious soup, we will be working together to make a few kinds of soup which we will both enjoy together AND pack up to donate within the greater community.

Tentative schedule:

3-5pm: Communal cooking (washing, chopping, stirring) under the guidance of Flora (experienced soup maker). Feel free to bring a plant-based ingredient or two (e.g. vegetable, grain, or bean) that can go into soup. Some basic soup recipes & tips will be shared.

5pm: Eat together

5:45: Package and label soup for delivery to local food pantries/organizations

Please feel free to come ANY time that works for you! You are welcome to come just to cook, just to eat, or both. This event is FREE but registration is required to help us plan ahead. Sign up HERE!
