Grace Pond Farm

What Grace Pond Farm does

Grace Pond Farm is a MOFGA-certified organic, pasture-raised livestock and raw milk dairy farm operating from a single location at 530 Main Street in Thomaston, Maine. Founded in 2019 and owned/operated by Gregg Stiner and Rhiannon Hampson with their two children, the farm produces five core product lines: pastured Cornish Rock Cross broiler chickens (whole and cuts), seasonal pastured turkeys, grass-fed beef (including rose veal), pasture-raised pork on a soy-free diet, and organically certified raw milk from a Normande and Jersey dairy herd. Production methods emphasize regenerative practices including daily-moved mobile hoop structures for broilers, rotational pasture grazing for cattle, woodland and pasture rotation for pigs used to reclaim fields without mechanical tilling, and selective breeding toward A2A2 genetics in the dairy herd.

The core "technology" is the regenerative farming system itself — organic certification, pasture rotation, soy-free pig nutrition, and herd genetics — rather than any software or automation layer. Distribution is hybrid: a self-serve on-farm Barn Store (daily 9-6), online ordering for ahead pick-up, the Glass Bottle Club subscription for weekly raw milk (Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays; $10 bottle deposit), wholesale supply to a network of 10+ Maine retailers (Good Tern Co-op, Royal River Natural Foods, Uncle Dean's Natural Market, Farmers' Gate Market, Old Crow Ranch, Spear Spring Farm, Island Spirits, Olde Haven Farm, Bahner Farm, among others), and milk supply to Maine artisan producers (Fuzzy Udder Creamery, Copper Tail Farm, The Milkhouse Dairy Farm). Marketing is community-centered via Instagram, Facebook, email, and the Squarespace-hosted farmtography and cooking-tips content.

Revenue mechanics are unit-pricing per pound (e.g., whole chicken $5.50/lb, whole turkey $5.75/lb, ground beef $9.00/lb, pork cuts $9.00-$12.50/lb, raw milk $6.00/half gallon), hanging-weight pricing for whole/half pigs ($5.75-$6.00/lb), gift certificates ($25/$50/$100), and the recurring Glass Bottle Club subscription. Customer segments are predominantly health-conscious local Maine consumers seeking ethically raised, organic, PFAS-tested proteins and dairy, with secondary segments of local food retailers carrying the products and holiday-meal consumers seeking premium Thanksgiving turkeys.
