About Nooney Farm
On December 15, 2020, Kittery Land Trust permanently protected a 30-acre property tucked away in the center of the community, just steps from the town’s middle school on Stevenson Road. The fertile fields and woodlands of a former dairy farm have become a hub for local agriculture, education, and outdoor recreation. Nooney Farm amplifies the Trust’s work “Saving Land and Building Community”.

Need more reasons to shop for local, organically grown flowers? Did you know...
- Energy: The farther flowers are grown from the end consumer, the more time spent in transit. Air freighting and trucking flowers long distances is energy intensive. Cut flowers must be refrigerated after harvest to ensure freshness. Cold-chain shipping in airplanes, trucks, warehouses and storage rooms require more energy than flowers grown close to the client.
- Chemicals: Imported flowers must be dipped in fungicides to comply with import regulations. Domestic flowers aren’t subject to foreign pest chemical protocols. Flowers grown with minimal pesticides and fertilizers protect the land, workers, and all who touch flowers.
- Land use: Some farmers steward their lands in more ecologically sound ways than others. For example, using minimal irrigation during growing and handling; protecting surrounding aquifers; making decisions that take biodiversity and habitat protection into consideration are ways to protect the health of the land.
- Waste: Sustainable farmers minimize landfilled debris by composting botanical scraps; choosing reusable, recyclable or compostable containers; and minimal packaging.
- Consumption: From field to vase, sustainable floristry means doing more with less, and making choices that minimize the environmental impact of cut flowers.
