I found Frith Farm after doing some research on some local places to get fresh produce, directly from farms. We drove to the farm in Scarborough without expecting much and ended up completely falling in love with the place. Frith Farm wasn't what we envisioned; it was beyond that.
When we went in the winter, the farm store looked straight out of a New England fairy tale. Even thought we were close to Portland, we felt like we were in a small village. It was absolutely adorable, like one of those places you see featured on a travel magazine. We walked in and found no one inside. Soon, we learned the farm store was self-serve. You buy what you want, and leave a check or cash to pay. A calculator and a scale made the self-checkout process very smooth.
The farm store had a lot to offer. There was plenty of fresh winter produce, from watermelon radishes to winter squash and everything else in between. A freezer was stocked with meats, and even frozen kale. Jams, pastas, oils, juices, spices, and even books - all local - were also available. They also had fresh bread, but unfortunately there was none left by the time we got there. There's truly something for everyone at Frith Farm.
Important to note: we loved that the produce was organic. I am so glad we stumbled upon Frith Farm and I cannot wait to keep coming back,. read more
