Runamuk Acres is a family-run farm and nature preserve at the foot of the Bigelow Mountain Range in western Maine, tended by Samantha Burns and her son, BraeTek. We grow half an acre of mixed vegetables, farming with regenerative methods that put soil health and beneficial insects first.
In 2020, conservation lands at Runamuk Acres were contracted to the USDA/NRCS for a 50-year commitment to wildlife preservation. With miles of trails running through protected habitat, open to hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or biking, we offer visitors a chance to connect with nature. Visitors can enjoy birdwatching, view wildlife, and connect with nature in this private nature preserve. Come picnic, walk the loop, watch for wildlife, or just get outside. The on-site farmstand is open seasonally, and CSA members get first access to whatever we grow—details under Farm Shares.
