Our small family farm on the edge of Maine’s North Woods is located just six miles from the Canadian border. For over 45 years we have dedicated ourselves to time-honored organic regenerative farming practices and building up the fertile soil of Wood Prairie Family Farm. We have been Certified Organic by MOFGA (USDA-Accredited) since 1982 and were some of the founders of the farmer-run national membership organization Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGATA).

We have sold our organic crops to customers like you for decades through this website and our FREE mail order catalog. We appreciate your patronage. We know it is your loyalty and goodwill which keeps our family farm in business and we’re grateful to you. Please do call us today. It’s our pleasure to grow the very best organic seed and food, and we’re here to help you.

The Safe Seed Pledge

“Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economical, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately people and communities.” Wood Prairie Family Farm joins over 100 seed companies in signing this pledge from the Council for Responsible Genetics.
