Meet the Farm.

Landsmith Farm is on unceded Wabanaki territory of Waldoboro, Maine. The land has been farmed for over 100 years and is known in town as Stahl Farm. The “blue house on top of the hill” was formerly owned by town historian, Jasper Stahl. Current steward, Erin, is excited to breath new life into the land and reconnect the community with this long time farm.

The farm organically grows a wide variety of high-quality, tasty vegetables, herbs, willow, and cut flowers using practices that prioritize the health of the land and the people who grow it. The farm is owned and operated by Erin Espinosa, whose identities as a queer Latina farmer ground the farm in values of reciprocity, community, and perseverance.

Our products are sold wholesale and direct-to-consumer through a variety of channels, including a farm stand and wholesale to local chefs.

Who We Are

  • Our food is safe, nutritious, and grown by folks with strong ethics. We use organic agricultural practices rooted in indigenous knowledge that centers ecosystem health and reciprocity. We grow food as efficiently and productively as we can while reinvesting time and resources into the land and ecosytem. We engage in tractor based low-till farming practices that minimize disturbance of the soil to preserve the microbial life within the soil that make for the tastiest, most nutritious food.

    1. High Quality Products: We grow food with care and harvest for peak freshness and taste.

    2. Ecological Reciprocity: Our business management and growing practices prioritize giving back to the land that sustains us, ensuring the viability of the land and balance of the ecosystem around us. 

    3. Community Driven: We prioritize community well-being in our decision making.

    4. Farmer Well-Being: We want all farm staff to feel respected, supported, and satisfied. We create a safe, productive, and joyful work environment that is committed to the demanding nature of farm work. 

    5. Financial Viability: Our ambitious goals can only be accomplished if our business is financially healthy. Through careful financial management, early investment in capital assets that will increase efficiency of production. Financial viability to us means that all farm staff is paid a sustainable wage on time and the farm can achieve our goals season after season.

  • In 2026, you can buy our vegetables at our on site farm stand June-October and through chefs who turn our vegetables into meal magic! Including Finocchi dinner service at the Waldoboro Inn starting this Spring!
