Welcome to Andy’s Farm and Garden at Cole Farm!

Andy’s Farm and Garden, located at Cole Farm on River Road in Dayton, is in a huge barn that was built in 1903. The property has been in Andy’s family since the 1880s, and the Cole family has supplied the Biddeford area with firewood, ice, vegetables, hay, and dairy products since the late 1920s. Although the cows are gone, the fields continue to produce hay and the barn now houses the Farm and Garden store.

Andy grew up haying and caring for dairy cows, then attended UMO, studied Agricultural Engineering, and started working for Agway when he graduated from college. Valerie spent her youth showing horses, attended UNH and studied Animal Science. They met in Dover, NH, and bought the former Suburban Agway of Westbrook ME in 1994. In 1999, they renovated the dairy barn and moved the store to Dayton.

Andy and Valerie share their home with horses, cats, dogs, and other animals that arrive on the doorstep. They are active in their community and believe in supporting local agriculture and small businesses.
