Welcome

Salt Water Farm offers its guests the opportunity to create local, seasonal fare while looking over Maine’s Penobscot Bay.  Classes are taught in a post & beam barn set on the oceanfront, in a farmer’s field.  The kitchen is fully equipped with a wood burning brick oven, an open hearth for spit roasting, pastry ovens, a Wolf range top and a variety of specialty equipment such as deep fryers, sausage makers, pasta makers, an ice cream maker and more.  An outdoor kitchen provides a wood burning grill, lobster burners and a smoker for meat and fish.  A vegetable garden with over 100 seed varieties sits beside the barn, providing stock for the kitchen.

The space is designed around the concept of a summer kitchen.  Native to the North, these kitchens are set away from the house, near the garden.  They are a place where vegetables are gathered on tabletops, summer berries are preserved for the fruitless months of winter, loaves of bread are baked and set to rest, fish are filleted and smoked, tomatoes are left to warm in the sun and where a chef is free to cook as he/she pleases, undisturbed. 

Our Maine kitchen offers hands-on classes, teaching guests how to transform local, fresh ingredients into a well-balanced seasonal menu, which it then shared among friends at our very own Salt Water Farm.
