Bridge Farm

593 Gardiner Road
207-737-8083

Weekly shares of vegetables, bread, tempeh and eggs, plus one whole chicken during the season.

Kathy Coleman and Bob Howe purchased this historic farm in Dresden (est. 1763) in 2007. It is named for its founder Edmund Bridge, a housewright who was appointed High Sheriff of Lincoln County (which then comprised most of Maine) by Gov. John Hancock from 1782 to 1812. In addition to the main house, there are two barns, a 'guest' house, a garage, a commercial kitchen, fixed and portable chicken coops, fixed and portable sheep shelters, pig pen, boat dock and sheds. There are currently about 3 acres under cultivation, about 10 acres of hay fields, and about 5 acres of pasture. The farm includes 2,400 feet of frontage along the Eastern River. We have a heritage sheep breed known as CVM Romeldale, as well as Romney-Merino-Columbia crosses, and a Border Leicester ram.
