About Wolfe's Neck Center
Wolfe's Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment (WNC) is a fast-growing nonprofit organization based on a campus of over 600 acres of coastal farmland in Freeport, Maine. Our work is dedicated to creating a world where agriculture and food systems support farmer viability, thriving ecosystems, and vibrant communities. Through regenerative farming demonstration and training, innovative research, and collaborations, we work to advance agriculture regionally and nationally to accelerate holistic change in food systems and mitigate the effects of a changing climate.
Our campus includes an organic dairy program that serves as a supply source for Stonyfield Organic and a testing ground for new management technologies, alongside 3 acres of fruit and vegetable production and integrated small livestock systems. WNC also administers the Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship (DGA), an accredited National Apprenticeship registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, to establish a clear pathway to independent farm ownership and cultivate grazing careers across the Northeast. In 2025, we launched the "Growing Graziers" cohort learning model to focus on business planning, marketing, and leadership, while establishing a Farmer Advisory Committee to ensure farmer feedback meaningfully shapes our strategic planning and initiatives.
