A Bit About North Creek Farm
For those of you not familiar with us, North Creek is a circa 1850's saltwater farm situated in Phippsburg, Maine. On a map you'll see that we are not far from the tip of Phippsburg, a long peninsula in mid-coast Maine, jutting into the Gulf of Maine. By road we are a very scenic 12 mile ride from route 1 in Bath and 4 miles from Popham beach at the end of the peninsula.
I've been in the nursery business for 25 years, a gardener much longer and written 2 books on roses and oodles of gardening articles. I practice a personalized and innovative form of organic gardening and am forever learning, experimenting and revising. I'm fond of referring to myself as a 'gardener of least resistance.'
North Creek is both home and place of business. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy our extensive ornamental display gardens and wander through the vegetable and cut flower plots. The gardens are at 'rose peak' late June and early July but well worth a visit from May through October in our moderate coastal climate.
Aside from the plant nursery, we sell our own organically grown produce, eggs and cut flowers. Our store features gardening related items, imports from Guatemala and Viet Nam plus fine cheeses, top notch wines and beers, natural meats, ethnic cooking ingredients, all sorts of groceries, etc. - to name but a few of the things you'll find here.
In addition we serve wholesome and delicious lunches (featured in Real Simple magazine September 2005 issue) to enjoy in the gardens or our cafe, or to go.
If you have never visited our beautiful peninsula, we have pristine beaches, an island campground, excellent harbors, miles of hiking trails, fishing villages, a fine array of B & B's, crusty old Mainers and still more!
