- The only CSA farm in Freeport that is family owned and operated and grows its own certified organic vegetables on site and year round is Laughing Stock Farm. If you want the best (freshest) produce year round and want to support a local working family farm then Laughing Stock Farm is the best place to go. Our summer share is one of the longest available in Maine, from June 1st to October 31st. Our winter share, from November 1st to May 31st, is the only CSA in Maine that offers fresh greens and baby root crops grown on site in addition to our traditional winter crops. We heat 1/3 acre of greenhouses with used cooking oil collected from local restaurants, so the winter growing is the most carbon friendly option possible. We also grow peonies for wholesale cut flowers that are available from the middle of June to the middle of July. We have been in business for over 13 years. We have CSA shares available. We look forward to meeting you.
