Building a Farm & Outdoor Recreation Nature-Based Learning Center

Where Generations Learn, Grow & Connect

Generations Retreat & Grow Farm is creating a 24-acre Farm & Outdoor Recreation Nature-Based Learning Center in Wabanaki Territory (Maine). Our vision is to create a welcoming place where families can grow food, explore the outdoors, learn land-based skills, and connect with nature through education, recreation, and community.

In our first year, we raised more than $120,000 in grants and community support to begin transforming the space. Those investments helped us restore the land, establish planting, begin orchard development, improve infrastructure (construction of our community center, outhouse, plumbing, wood sheds, fencing and campsites), clear trails, and launch nature-based programming. Today, we're building the next phase of this vision! But we need your support. Help us create safe and accessible spaces for farming, outdoor recreation, environmental education, cultural learning, and community gatherings that will serve families for generations to come. We are in need of unrestricted operational AND programmatic support. We want to get to a place where we can ensure sustainable free programming while guaranteeing staff capacity and overhead security for years to come.

Our Nature-Based Education Focus Areas

*Food & Farming
Gardening, orchards, medicinal plants, food cultivation, pollinator habitat, and culturally rich land-based skills.

*Outdoor Recreation
Hiking, camping, canoeing, snowshoeing, fishing, wildlife education, and exploring Maine's outdoors.
