Our farm illuminates the interconnectedness of our lives. Through growing and eating our own food, we strive to have a complete relationship with the land. Saltmarsh Farm is Chewonki's small, diversified organic farm and is greatly prized by our community. Its primary mission is to educate students while producing food, wood products, and fiber for the community.

The farm consists of approximately 25 acres of open land and 150 acres of woodlot. One acre is cultivated for vegetable production and the remainder is comprised of pasture, hay fields, buildings, trees and stone walls. The gardens are carefully planned and intensively managed, producing 10,000-15,000 pounds of vegetables annually for our dining hall. We also raise livestock for milk, meat, and fiber, as well as timber for firewood and some saw logs.
