The St. Onge family ancestors arrived in New England aboard the Mayflower in 1620. In 1644 they moved to and settled what is now Dayton and Lyman Maine. The family has been working the land in Southern Maine ever since and continues to do so today. Winterwood Farm® compost products reflect our heritage of preserving the land and insuring the future of agriculture for generations to come. Our facility located in Lyman, Maine is a diversified farm producing farm and agricultural products. Like our ancestors, we cleared land and worked it part time until 1990 when we made the leap to full time farming. Our ultimate goal has always been to make a living from the land in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner. Today we are doing just that.

We offer a variety of goods and services. We are a certified American Tree Farm and maintain a black walnut plantation. In 2003 we became a M.O.F.G.A. Certified Organic Grower. We sell our Winterwood Farm Organic Produce at local farmers markets. We raise and show Registered Belted Galloway beef cattle. Our award winning Registered Belted Galloways produce a lean meat that is low in both total fat and saturated fats. Our "Belties" are fed an all natural diet. We do not use growth hormones or other additives. Our quality freezer beef is sold by the side. We also raise hogs including Hampshires for freezer pork

Since 1997, Winterwood Farm has been a licensed agricultural composting facility. We are now bagging our premium compost products exclusively under the Winterwood Farm® trademarked brand name, offering an eye catching line of bagged products. In some areas we offer a bulk (Cu. Yd.) sales program .
