Stones Edge Farm

Stones Edge Farm is a small Farm located in Midcoast Maine. The
farm is set on 27 acres of open rolling fields. We Started the farm
in 2002 and mostly cater to horses, Nigerian Dwarf and Pygmy
goats as well as our two boxer dogs and of course our children.
Over the years we have grown adding Tennessee Fainting Goats,
Miniature Silky Fainters, and Bernese Mountain Dogs. The animals
enjoy the freedom of the wide open space that Stones Edge farm
provides.

OPEN FARM DAY
JULY 20, 2008
9:00 to 5:00
       Stones Edge Farm is well known as the home of Lincoln Counties very first
fainting goats. Beyond that the farm creates a great environment for adults and
kids to enjoy the interaction with several different types of animals specifically
goats and horses. This makes the farm a hot spot for many visitors, especially on
Maine State Open Far Day. Open Farm Day is July 20 from 9:00  to 5:00, this will be
the Fourth year in a row for the farm, but this year Stones Edge Farm is trying out a
new concept. Derilyn Nelson the owner of the farm takes note that the gas is high and
the economy stinks so people may be discouraged to drive and see the farms so
instead of traveling  around to see several different farms why not have them all at
one location. Stones Edge Farm is the perfect spot to host this opening event that
hopefully will grow every year, there are acres of open fields for people to set up and
plenty of space for parking. Derilyn is not charging anything, she just wants people
to be able to promote there farms and products and visitors to enjoy everything in one
spot, she feels like this will be a win win situation for all.
       
Participants for this years open farm day include Margaret Sproul of Sproul’s farm
in Pemaquid Falls who will be promoting the Haflinger horse with harnessing
demonstrations and carriage rides around the field. Pine Creations will be selling
there bee products and handmade jewelry. Elegant Funk will be selling there
reclaimed sweaters and possibly demonstrating how they create them. Darlene Terry
of Calm light photos will be here to capture all those picture perfect moments that
happen at the farm and for your family while visiting the farm these pictures will be
available for purchase on a private online gallery. Fort Lewis Preservation Farm will
be promoting and selling there heritage turkeys, broilers, and free Range eggs.
Runchkin Hill Farm Breeder and trainer of Irish Draughts and Irish sport horses will
be joining us from Brooks Maine and Essex Massachusetts to teach and explain about
this wonderful temperament and  breed of horse.
       We are hoping to get more participants over the years and we think this will be
just the beginning for Stones Edge Farm, hosting of a community farm event where
people can promote Maine made products and or farms, we may even decide to break
off and try to make this its own event in the future it would be like a mini fair right
here in our community.
       So please come and join Stones Edge Farm and make this day a great success,
you will be greeted not only by us the people but the 80 goats, 30 being newborn kids
and several horses including the mini horse and pony foals. Plus we still have one
more doe to kid and two horses to foal and they are due around open farm day. If you
