Beech Hill Farm, a project of College of the Atlantic, is a MOFGA-certified organic farm. The 73-acre property includes six acres of fields in vegetable production, three small heirloom apple orchards, pasture land for pigs and poultry, five greenhouses, and open forest.
Beech Hill Farm provides educational opportunities to COA students and community members through their work-study program, independent projects, class visits, events, and workshops.
Beech Hill Farm produces certified organic food for COA and the Mount Desert Island community, while using methods that maintain the integrity and health of the land, and work toward environmental and economic sustainability. Beech Hill Farm is a base for understanding agriculture as a central concern of human ecology for College of the Atlantic students and faculty.
