Each year the Maine Department of Agriculture coordinates its Senior Farm Share Program whereby eligible Senior Citizens are able to purchase $50 of locally grown fresh produce. The number of eligible seniors far out number the financial resources available from the state. Stutzman's Farm enrolls more than 500 Seniors a year in the Farm Share Program. Realizing that state funding was not going to be able to include all of the senior citizens on their waiting list, the Stutzman's began enlisting the support of local businesses, organizations, and community members to raise funds. In 2009 private donations added an additional 80 Seniors to the Stutzman's Senior Farm Share Program. Currently there is a waiting list. For more information on how your business, organization, or family can help fund this worthwhile program please call Sid or Rainey at the farm. (207) 564-8596

For the past 10 years Stutzman's Farm has hosted area school children on a field trip to the farm. Besides giving the children an opportunity to see how a farm works each child can pick out their own pumpkin . As Sid and Rainey say, "If you can get the pumpkin out of the field and onto the bus on your own, the pumpkin is yours!" Schools desiring information on this program should call the farm.
