River BenD Farm
River Bend Farm is on the traditional land of the Sokokis Tribe of the Pequawket people of the Wabanaki confederacy. Generations of ancestors have cared for this land and we acknowledge its unjust seizure. We are learning and living on their territory, honor their culture, and are enormously grateful for their stewardship of the land.
River Bend Farm is a historic 105-acre farm on a scenic bend in the Saco River. It is a place to inspire learning and sustainable living. It is designed to bring people and nature together. We provide “live what you learn” opportunities for guests through hands-on exploration of Maine’s ecosystems, sustainable living practices, direct connection to food systems and farming along with modeling conservation-in-action. River Bend Farm is a place where people of all ages will find comfortable accommodations, delicious food, and beautiful outdoor spaces to explore.
About Open Space Facilitation
Open Space is designed for self-organization, inclusivity, and emergent agendas. The issues that are most important to the people attending will be included in the agenda. The issues raised will be addressed by the participants who are best able to get something done about it. The ideas, recommendations, discussions and next steps will be documented.
