Hollow Maple Farm

Rick & Diane Kelley, 1872 Stage Road, Etna 04434, ph. (207) 368-5605, info@HollowMapleFarm.com, www.hollowmaplefarm.com

We are a family-owned business since 2004 and located on Route 2 in Etna, Maine. Our farm is a state-licensed dairy. We raise LaMancha and Nubian dairy goats. Through selective breeding, we improve the quality of our dairy goats in order to create the best tasting cheese, milk, and excellent handmade goat milk soaps, lotions, and body butters. We also show our goats at fairs throughout Maine.

We make a variety of soft cheese (Chevre) with herbs and seasonings, mozzarella, ricotta, and feta. We sell goat milk which contains smaller fat globules; therefore, it is easier to digest and does not require homogenization. Some people who are allergic to cow's milk can consume goat's milk. Compared to cow's milk, goat milk is higher in protein, calcium, phosphorus, and Vitamin A.

Our soaps, lotions, and body butters are handmade. The soap is cut and cured naturally, and then individually wrapped. Goat milk has excellent moisturizing qualities as a skin softener even the most sensitive skin types can trust. Goat milk is rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals.

Come visit us at the market and thank you for your patronage!

We have strawberries both June bearing and day neutral so we can have fresh strawberries all summer. We also have Raspberries & Blackberries in late summer.

Several varieties of dry beans well also be available, plus we have mixed veggies, sweet corn, jams, jellies, relishes, and fiddleheads

I plan to attend all season long.
