BOWDOINHAM — Friends of Merrymeeting Bay is set to host a tour of Six River Farm, 513 Browns Point Road, at 4:30 Wednesday, Aug. 14. The tour, running about an hour, will be followed by the organization’s annual meeting and potluck supper featuring live music by the duo Cribstone.
The farm grows about 22 acres of mixed organic vegetables on approximately 40 acres that Nate Drummond and Gabrielle Gosselin own and or manage. The farm operates in Kennebec alluvial soils on both sides of the Abbagadasset River and besides restaurant sales, brings a wide range of organic vegetables to area farmers markets, with the addition of organic berries, cut flowers and organic seedlings in season.
At the farmers markets and their farms stand on Centers Point Road, they only sell what they grow. Everything from the farm is certified organic by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association.
Registration is appreciated not required. The public is welcome to the farm tour, brief annual meeting and potluck supper.
