About
Us

Welcome to Farm!

We are Josh & Laura, owners of Farm 23, the culmination of more than 20 years of dreaming, planning, experimenting, winning (and sometimes losing!), crying, laughing (lots of laughing!) and good old fashioned hard work. After 11 years of running our first bakery in our hometown in MA, we sold our business and relocated to Boothbay Harbor in 2019 to this beautiful 1850 farmhouse and bakery barn. We are thrilled to now bring our passion for food, farming, and small business to Mid Coast Maine!​

We believe that food truly is LOVE, and that it should be made with care, quality ingredients, and minimal processing. But our commitment with Farm 23 goes beyond just using quality ingredients. We use unbleached, non gmo flour, local Maine Grains oats, rye flour, and cornmeal, local produce, cheeses and meats whenever possible, farm fresh eggs from our own on site flock of chickens and a local neighbor, and THE BEST fair trade, organic coffee from our friends at Indigo Coffee Roasters (roasted to order to reach us as fresh as possible!).

We also use only all natural vegetable based food colorings (no artificial dyes!) in our buttercream, along with fresh fruit purees and real, pure vanilla.

We grow a lot of produce and berries organically on site in our gardens, we raise chickens, and our eggs and produce are often available to purchase and enjoy at home.

In our shop you'll find an array of daily changing pastries, breads, cakes, and cookies, along with creative coffee, tea, and espresso drinks, gourmet food items, savory bakes, grab-and-go offerings, and

a vibrant gift shop filled with both locally made Maine goods and curated gifts from our favorite small businesses across the country.

Come visit us at Farm 23 and help us cultivate some joy! 

- Josh & Laura, Harold and Stanley Roosters, "the ladies", and our 4 dogs Lucy, Biscuit, Bebe & Mabel
