“Sustainable agriculture depends upon personal commitment, that of the farmer and eater.  There is an interconnectedness that is palpable; the city with the country, the eater with the farmer, the food with the health, and joy with living.” – Kim Miller, PASA Board President 2000-2007

One Drop Farm has relocated! We are very excited to be part of the greater Skowhegan community. Our farm is located 4 miles north of Skowhegan, Maine, on Route 150. We participate in the Skowhegan Farmers Market.

One Drop Farm was born of a vision to walk the talk of a sustainable food system, of food grown and eaten where we live. We grow life-sustaining organic vegetables and are pleased to offer the freshest, healthiest vegetables. One Drop Farm also sells eggs from free-range hens. We stock seedlings for farmers and gardeners (inquire in early spring for seedlings).

Ann and Andrew Mefferd are following in the footsteps of their ancestors. Andrew's grandparents farmed in Shade Valley of Shade Gap, PA. The ancestral farm, purchased in 1929 by Andrew’s paternal great, great grandfather, Isacc Marshall Clayton, was 500 acres of hardwood-forested mountain and 200 arable acres.  Grandma Violet Mefferd lived in the farmhouse until she passed away, and she was an endless source of information when it came to the old way things were done on the Mefferd land. She drove the mules and rode the binder for her family from the time her feet could reach the pedals until after she was married. Grandma Mefferd was a farm girl through and through. Thanks to her, we have an honorable tradition and several generations of wisdom backing us up! 

Our One Drop Farm in Maine produces a bounty of produce; from broccoli to zucchini, Jerusalem artichokes to potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, peas, and celeriac to name just a few.  You can find all of these and more at our farmer’s market stand.  We vend each Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM at the Skowhegan Farmer’s Market.  Though this market is open from May 9th to October 31st, you may be able to purchase vegetables and seedlings from us all year thanks to our fantastic greenhouse. We have lots of friends and family in this community and it feels great to feed them good stuff.

One Drop Farm supports the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association.

We are running our truck and tractor on biodiesel!  This alternative vegetable oil-based fuel is helping us reduce our energy footprint as we build a much-needed more sustainable, petroleum-free, local-based way of living.  You can find out more about biodiesel when you click on the biodiesel community link on this page. One Drop Farm also supports the use of draft animals whenever possible, and plans to incorporate a team of oxen as part of their environmentally-friendly workforce. For more information on using draft animals, see the Small Farmers Journal.

Love and dirt,
The Farmers, Ann and Andrew Mefferd
