Alewives Brook Farm
Retail store: 83 Old Ocean House Road
Hours: 9:00 am – 6:00 pm everyday, except Christmas
AVAILABLE NOW!!
As the weather gets colder it is hard to remember about your local farmers, but we are still open and will
be all winter long. Still fresh in the market is broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and potatoes. Not much
longer on the lettuce. All winter long we have potatoes, carrots, and beets kept in our root cellar.
Vegetables are not the only thing available at Alewive’s we have live lobsters and clams all winter. If
you are feeling like you just didn’t have enough left-overs from Thanksgiving, stop by and pick up one
of our farm fresh turkeys we have placed in our freezers. Turkey dinner is always an excellent idea for
Christmas Dinner. Please continue to support your local farmers throughout the winter months.
About the farm
Named for the tiny fish in the brook that runs across its 90 acres, Alewives Brook Farm has been a
source of fresh food on the Cape for more than 50 years. Owned and run by Jodie and Trisha Jordan,
the farm grows and sells a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as fresh lobster, clams, and
crabs. The seafood comes from local fisherman, including Jodie and his sons, and lobsters are available
for purchase year-round.
The farm’s products are available at its retail store, which is accessible from both Old Ocean House and
Ocean House Road. In 2007, the farm raised turkeys for the Thanksgiving holiday, and it plans to offer
them again this year. The Jordans also sell their produce at farmers’ markets in Saco, Wells, and
Westbrook.

History
Jodie Jordan was a seven-year old boy when his parents first ploughed the fields of Alewives Brook
Farm in 1958. His family followed in the footsteps of generations of Jordans who worked the fields of
Cape Elizabeth. Over the next two decades, the farm had a healthy wholesaling business, selling cabbage,
lettuce, and squash to Hannaford, Carr Brothers, and other large grocers.
During the 70s, the grocers started buying exclusively from big Midwest and California suppliers,
forcing the farm to shift into retail operations in order to survive. With the exception of some income
from Farmshare, a government program that provides fresh vegetables to senior citizens, Alewives
Brook Farm’s financial health today depends entirely on the success of its retail operation.
