Friends of the Farm Membership

Friends of the Farm - Partner with Saco River Farms

A simple way to support Saco River Farms and enjoy more of what we offer year-round.

Friends of the Farm Membership is our new farm credit program for customers who want to shop more intentionally with Saco River Farms throughout the year.

By preloading your Friends of the Farm account, you help strengthen the farm while receiving bonus credit, exclusive member perks, and preferred access to special offerings and events.

This is not a CSA. It is a flexible farm credit program built around the full life of the farm.

How It Works

Choose a Friends of the Farm membership level, preload your farm account, and receive bonus credit at the time of deposit.

Your balance can then be used throughout the store on the products you already love from Saco River Farms.

Use it on:

produce
dairy
meats
pantry goods
specialty foods
wine and beer

There is no expiration, and members may reload at any time.
