Green Thumb Farms has been farming in Western Maine since 1965. Working on 2000 acres of rich Saco River Valley soil has firmly established our reputation for quality potatoes, turf, dry beans and corn. Our third generation family farm strives to preserve Maine’s open spaces and agricultural heritage.
Our agricultural roots lie in the production of the highest quality Maine potatoes. We grow and market several varieties of potatoes for supermarkets, food service distributors and processors, we recently added organic potatoes to our product list. Our state-of-the-art technology enables us to ensure quality potatoes in every bag.
Green Thumb’s turf business grows two varieties, Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue blend. We market directly to landscapers, golf courses and the sports turf industry, as well as homeowners.
Green Thumb Farms has diversified into the dry bean business. Currently, we grow New England heirloom bean varieties such as Jacob’s Cattle, Yellow Eye, Soldier, and Red Kidney. Typically these varieties are used in baked beans, but they also work well in soups, stews and salads.
Historically, the Fryeburg area has been fertile ground for growing corn. Green Thumb Farms grows corn purposed for livestock but recently the same type of corn has become popular as a clean, renewable heating source much like wood pellets.
We are also proud of out sister company Maine Distilleries and their award winning Cold River Vodka, made from our potatoes!
We offer the freshest native species Christmas Wreaths and Specialty Evergreens in the Pacific Northwest. The Alpine Farms name has been synonymous with family business here in our neck of the woods for almost 20 years. It began with the Reid family and their over 65 years of experience with growing and distributing high quality Christmas trees, and later adding wreaths and specialty evergreens. The company Alpine Farms came to life to provide for more specialized services such as Fundraising Programs and Corporate Gifting.
In October 2017 the Reid family retired to enjoy the next stage of life and sold the company to Mindy FitzGerald and Megan Puga. This mother-daughter team has experience in family owned business know how, philanthropic mind set and heart for caring for others. A new company that continues with the same great quality of product and services that our customers have come to know and love; along with new leadership and fresh energy to expand is now the new Alpine Farms. We are keeping the Alpine Farms name and tradition of caring for the community as well as the environment.
