Tucked along the winding bends of Hostile Valley Road, in Palermo, Maine you’ll find Hostile Valley Farm. Despite the name, there's nothing unfriendly about our land - exept, perhaps, the weather that once earned these hills their reputation. Locals say storms would roll in fast and fierce, giving rise to the valley’s now-famous name.
But from that rugged history came something remarkable: rich, resilient soil shaped by time and weather. It’s the kind of land that remembers, holding onto nutrients and character - perfectly suited for growing the hearty, flavorful crops we cultivate today.
We grow garlic and seasonal vegetables
slowly, simply, and with intention.
We’re digging into the soil, listening to the land and raising what thrives here, naturally.
Honest work, heritage crops, and the kind of farming that once defined rural life in Maine.
We believe a hard day’s work in the field is still worth it.
We believe slow-grown vegetables carry a kind of flavor - and pride - you can’t fake.
We believe hands-in-the-dirt, pass-it-down work is rewarding for the soul, and our community.
