Ferme Louis is all about closing the gap; getting our food supply closer to the earth and closer to the people.

The land is named for Louis Stephen Godin, Alexis’ French-Canadian grandfather. He was an unflagging man who poured all of his energy into making ends meet for his family. He worked hard for his family, and this is our promise to work hard for yours.

On our farm, we pour all of our energy into creating a sustainable food system; one where all the pieces are consistently within the cycle from beginning to end and back around the horn. In concert with our sister business, Cork and Rind, we strive to generate little landfill waste, serve food that is grown as closely as possible, compost, recycle or re-use every piece of material we can, use sustainable agricultural practices that result in not just better quality food but better quality soil, and contribute back to our local economy by supporting local Maine businesses.

On the land, we practice ‘organic-adjacent’ agriculture. What does that mean? We use all organic certified amendments (think and pest control and fertilizer), grow cover crops that give back to our natural ecosystem, and do our best to use as few plastic products as we possibly can.
