McKay Farm & Research Station


McKay Farm and Research Station is 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s multi-faceted greenhouse and field facility in Thorndike, Maine. Originally known as Half Moon Gardens, McKay Farm and Research Station was gifted to 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ in December 2013 by Isabel McKay and Rick Thompson.

Today, it is a working production farm, with herbs and edible flowers produce available in local grocery stores. Certified by Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, the five greenhouses and one-acre production fields showcase the next generation of sustainable agriculture. Additionally, the farm provides contract growing services and rental space in the greenhouse and fields.
