Toddy Pond Farm is a diversified family farm at the end of a dirt road in Monroe, ME.
Through our restaurant, Farm & Table, our mission is to provide our community and those visiting our lovely part of Maine, with wholesome and thoughtfully crafted meals in a fun and vibrant working farm setting. All of the meat we serve is raised here on our farm and all of the vegetables are grown by local organic growers. We offer a variety of dietary options, including vegetarian and gluten-free and our wood fired pizza with our naturally leavened sourdough crust is said to be some of the best in Waldo county. Seating options include our historic 1800’s hay barn and outside picnic tables (weather dependent)
We (Heide and Greg) started our farming journey in 2013 by re-establishing Toddy Pond Farm as a small micro dairy specializing in whole milk yogurts, cheeses and farm raised meats. Over the years we shifted our focus entirely to our on farm restaurant, which has grown in popularity every year since we started in 2019. You can learn more about us personally on our website.
Our farm to table dinners are much more than just a delicious farm raised meal. We offer our guests the opportunity for a full evening experience – dinner, local live music, flower gardens and an orchard to stroll through, farm animals to visit, farm dogs to play with, a place to gather with family and friends, all surrounded by abundant nature on a remote hilltop farm tucked off the beaten path. Some say we are a little hard to get to, everyone says it’s worth it. Reservations are required (nobody wants to drive all the way out to Monroe to discover we can’t seat them- our dinners routinely sell out)
Our restaurant is a destination for many folks coming to visit Maine in the summer, however our lovely local community is the life-blood of our farm. From our days at the original Friday Belfast Farmers’ Market to now, it always has been and that is a part of our mission that we strive to never lose sight of. We’re-open for the season in early May. Details and reservations will be on our website.
We look forward to seeing you on the farm this summer!
Heide (owner, chef) & Greg (owner, fixer of all things broken)
