William
H. Jordan Farm is one of several remaining farms in Cape Elizabeth, and
a major contributor to the towns rural character. Local residents
enjoy dropping by the stand to pick up farm fresh vegetables for dinner
or a cookout. Our juicy strawberries, sweet corn and fall squashes and
pumpkins are among their favorites. Were a working farm, so youre
likely to meet one of the family members bringing fresh produce into the
self-service stand when you visit.
