Brigeen
Farms, Inc., is a family dairy farm in existence since settler Daniel
Briggs arrived in Turner in the 1770's. Steve and Mary Briggs and Bill
and Betsy Bullard are the ninth and tenth generation to operate the farm
on this site. The dairy herd consists of 475 mature animals and 400 young
animals. Cow comfort and care drives the current farm structure, with
new and upgraded barns, sand beds, and free-choice nutritionist-balanced
feed. The cows are milked three times daily, with over 4000 gallons of
milk sold to Maine-owned Oakhurst Dairy each day. Corn and hay crops
are grown on approximately 800 acres of owned or rented local land. 
Brigeen
Farms currently employs 10 people full time, including family, supplemented
by seasonal crop labor, and many others in support industries. We are
a proud part of Maine's strong dairy industry, which generates over $570
million a year for the state's economy.
