Yarmouth Community Garden dates back to 2003, when 15 volunteers started farming a small piece of land using water drawn from a well. Since then we have grown into one of the largest and most diversified organic community gardens in Maine. YCG is the largest community garden contributor to Maine Harvest for Hunger program.

Yarmouth Community Garden is situated on a two-acre portion of Yarmouth Town land located on East Main Street at the entrance to the Frank Knight Forest, about a mile beyond Estabrook’s and just before the transfer station. The garden has three primary areas: the one-half acre community food garden, one-half acre renter’s garden, and a children’s garden, all supported by working beehives.

YCG hosts various events throughout the season, and we celebrate the end of each season with our annual Harvest Dinner; a delicious, popular community farm to table dinner that includes a silent auction and raffle to raise funds for the next year’s garden.

Our community food garden is planted, maintained and harvested by volunteers under the direction of the community plot coordinator. Our group of more than 100 volunteers, raises roughly 4,000 pounds of vegetables each year. Since 2003, we have donated over 58,000 pounds. We donate this fresh, organic produce to a variety of community organizations, including Yarmouth Community Food Pantry, and three senior housing complexes.
