The ultimate farm-to-table experience

 

After 24 seasons, numerous awards, recognitions and two other locations, Primo — in Rockland Maine — has matured into what Chef Melissa Kelly calls a "full circle kitchen," the ultimate farm to table experience.

What started out as one chef and two cooks in the kitchen, one greenhouse and one acre of vegetables has now become a full staff of 60 with 2 greenhouses, over 200 laying chickens, 150 broiler chickens, 5 ducks, 15 pigs and 3 acres of vegetables continuously rotating throughout the season. We have  an endless pursuit to accomplish a more sustainable ecosystem filled with love, creativity, and respect for the food.

A full-circle kitchen.

 

Primo is situated on a nearly five acre sustainable farm that produces a variety of vegetables and fruits, raises animals and grows flowers using farming techniques that protect the environment and help foster the development of healthy living for our community. Our livestock are raised on pasture and are able to move freely without dangerous practices, consuming a natural diet.
