Burgess Tree Farm
Home of Parker Produce. Though a small amount of our produce is grown in Winterport, the vast majority comes
from our headquarters in Newport. Operated as a family-owned dairy farm for decades, it now thrives as home to acres
of cut-your-own Christmas Trees.
We purchase Fedco seeds because of their practices, philosophy, quality, and the fact that they are local. Even
if you don't garden, you may enjoy reading their seed catalog.
We purchase seeds from Baker Creek because of their commitment to the diversity of our food supply. Heirloom
varieties have been around forever, are the best tasting and are not genetically modified or produced in a lab. They
are passed from season to season by Nature herself.
We purchase seeds and tools from Johnny's because they are a Maine company and have a department devoted to helping
create garden tools envisioned by people like Eliot Coleman, another Maine gardener.
Alternative Energy
Evolo Home Center and Evolo Energy Solutions is a small business in Newport which works to provide alternative energy
solutions with the use of wind and solar technologies.
MOFGA
The Maine Organic Farmer's and Gardener's Association is a great resource for farmers in Maine, including Parker
Produce. They are doing some great work to promote the growth of the local aspect of agricultural marketing. If
you've never been to the Common Ground Fair, you're missing a unique experience.
