Reviews of Mount Apatite Farm (Catering)

Heather Oinonen

Carol’s produce and food is always amazing! Love coming by the farmers market in the summer!

Her cooking is amazing! Carol has cooked for our family for over five years. She is able to accommodate almost any dietary restrictions and preferences. In our little family, we have a vegan, a vegetarian, and an omnivore. Yet Carol consistently prepares delicious and healthy meals that put smiles on all of our faces. She also fills our freezer with wonderful ready-to-eat meals that keep us well-fed between her visits. During harvest season, she delights us with fresh ingredients from her own organic garden, as well as from other local farmer friends. Carol has also catered a business open house for me in the past. She provided a delicious and beautiful spread for over 75 guests, and attended to all the details with effortless precision. In addition to her cooking prowess, Carol is just a warm and wonderful person. She's a real Mainer, with a big smile, and the giving spirit of a Fairy Godmother. She's always a pleasure to work with. Cookin' Carol gets my highest recommendation!!!

Mount Apatite Farm is great! I’ve purchased many of Carol’s frozen food and it has ALL been wonderful! I’m more than pleased with what I’ve purchased. I’ve seen her at the Lewiston Farmer’s Market and she brings the most beautiful flowers! If you haven’t tried Mount Apatite Farm you’re missing out!!

Oh my stars, if you need delicious, gorgeously presented food, look no further than Carol at Mt Apatite! She catered my parents 25th Anniversary, and we had her to their 50th as well, she's fantastic!

The best Sundays at the Lewiston Farmers Market are those when Mount Apatite Farm is present. Carol’s freezer sales offer prepared foods. Highly recommended: baked beans, innovative soups, and various savory strudels . And the butterscotch chip cookies! There’s also a variety of fresh herbs and vegetables. And you can also feed your soul with a seasonal bouquet. All this bounty is also available at the farm. Check it out, you’ll be glad you did.

Carol Segal, owner of Mt Apatite farm, has been a close friend of our family for many years, her farm is across the road from our old family farm on the Hatch Rd, Auburn. ME. She has an exceptional farm of organic vegis, herbs & flowers & an excellent catering business. I highly recommend Carol & her Mt Apatite farm.

A must visit during growing and harvest season. Carol maintains an fabulous organic garden from Greens to Grapes to gorgeous flowers she sells at the local Farmers Market. If your lucky, you may also catch her in her commercial kitchen where cooks up Garden to Table meals for her catering business. Taste some of the delicacies, purchase a full meal deal or take home a bouquet of flowers, dried or fresh. A true inspiration! She will also set you up with a tour of the adjacent Mt Apatite Mine, where you can forage for Maine Minerals....

Beautiful farm on the southern slope of Mount Apatite. Carol does such a wonderful catered meal at events and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her meat patties and chocolate zucchini bread.

Carol catered our wedding this past year and we could not have been happier with everything. The prices were the most reasonable by FAR...and I mean too good old to be true compared to other caterers. The food was farm fresh, home cooked, and plentiful. Many of our guests took the time to let us know how awesome the food was. There was quite a bit leftover and we were sad to eat the last of it a few days later for dinner. Carol also offers a pick your own flowers situation where you go to her farm and pick flowers for an insanely cheap price. Although we couldn’t take advantage of it due to time restrictions, it was a nice touch. Carols team was friendly and professional and she worked well with the space (it was held in parents backyard.) We highly recommend Carol and will certainly be using her services again for our future catering needs.

I have known Carol for a few decades! Having relocated to South Florida over 40 years ago, it was an absolute thrill to visit Mt. Apatite Farm while visiting Maine for a family reunion. I had a wonderful tour of her garden and purchased several of her catering items for our reunion lunch! All delicious... super-fresh and welcomed by all my relatives. Carol is very creative, thorough, and always aims to please. And she is very successful in doing that. I highly recommend her and her services.

I attended a wedding and the flowers were provided by Mount Appatite Farm. They were absolutely beautiful, very full and colorful. Then to my surprise the reception was catered by the same Farm. Very nice selection and flavor. I would highly recommend!

I first met Carol of Mount Apatite Farm & Catering in 2013 at the Lewiston Farmer's Market and she has since become an outstanding role model in my life; personally and professionally. She is a friendly and nurturing soul with a real knack for assembling beautiful bouquets, planning and preparing elegant meals from scratch, and catering to the unique taste and wishes of the people she serves. I highly recommend scheduling a visit to the farm in the peak of summer (July / August) for a tour of the garden.

From the moment my husband and I reached out to Carol, we knew we had found the right person to help us navigate the ins and outs of catering a very DIY wedding. We are so glad our paths crossed! Carol catered our wedding dinner and grew beautiful flowers on her farm that we cut and arranged ourselves. She and her team of two others worked tirelessly and efficiently through a heatwave to prepare and serve both delicious hors d'oeuvres (phyllo pastry seafood puffs and baked brie with grapes and crackers - so tasty!) and a full buffet meal for our 80+ guests. We had homestyle grilled chicken, garden green beans, beautiful salads with homemade dressings, roasted potatoes, butternut squash risotto...just simple, delicious, made-from-scratch Maine farm food. We had guests with all kinds of food restrictions that Carol was able to accommodate, and everyone left the dinner table with full bellies and big smiles. Carol has been a pleasure to work with throughout the process of planning this wedding. She is so down to earth, kind, professional, experienced, and calm. She always took the time to reassure my family and I that we could pull this off together, and walked us through so many different ways to cut costs to make sure we stayed within our budget (making our own boutonnieres, for example). She has worked on countless weddings and is so generous with her knowledge, patience, and amazing wedding odds and ends in her barn. Thank you Carol for your incredible dedication and spirit - it was such a joy to work with you!
