New Life for an Old Farm
Owned for many years by a well-known, local family, Tidewater farm in Falmouth, Maine has a rich history of agriculture and farming. The location is as diverse as its history, and Tidewater Farm has earned a place in may hearts as "the" view of both the marshes and Portland's skyline and is managed today by the Tidewater Conservation Foundation.

The uniqueness of the landscape at Tidewater Farm is perhaps its most remarkable feature. A glance at the surrounding land reveals an amazing diversity: open meadows, wetlands, grasslands wooded stands, tidal salt marshes, and an amazing apple orchard coexist on this small farm, reflecting the best of the natural features that define our landscape heritage in Maine.

With the support of the town of Falmouth, a unique public-private partnership has united forces around the goal of constructing a new facility: the Regional Learning Center at Tidewater Farm. University of Maine Cooperative Extension, the Cumberland County Extension Association, and the Tidewater Conservation Foundation -- a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit group -- are collaborating to raise the resources to make this new Regional Learning Center a reality.
