Welcome To North Branch Farm
Tree Sale: April 25 & 26, 2026
The 2026 Pick-Your-Own Highbush Blueberry Season is here! Our grand opening is Monday, July 13 from 4pm-7pm, with mostly Duke blueberries ripe for picking. Blue Ray, Blue Jay, Patriot and Meader are coming in shortly, followed by Jersey, Nelson and others! If weather & insects are in our favor we will be open, off and on, for about four weeks. We generally run the u-pick field as a self-serve, honor system operation, so stay tuned on our voicemail, (207)525-3323, and on our Facebook and Instagram accounts for up-to-date hours and other pertinent details. We accept cash, check and venmo at the blueberry stand. Hope to see you in the field!

Here at North Branch Farm, we have broken the stasis of winter. Proof is in the dripping taps in the sugar maples, the ever-lengthening days, and the flock of cedar waxwings devouring the remaining Amber Cider Crab apples. It feels great, but there's also a sense of...
