Welcome to Forget-Me-Not Quail Farm of Maine
I’m so glad you found your way here. I’ve been raising Coturnix quail for over a decade, and let me tell you—these tiny birds have a way of getting under your skin (in the best possible way). Whether you’re brand new to quail or already knee-deep in feed and feathers, you’ll find everything you need here to raise a strong, healthy covey—without the overwhelm.
At Forget-Me-Not Quail Farm, every bird is raised with care, and every resource is built to help you succeed. This isn’t just a farm—it’s my heart, my passion, and my way of making small-scale, sustainable homesteading feel doable for anyone.
The Farm Stand is Closed for the Season
We’ll reopen in late April 2025 with fresh eggs, pickled goodies, and other seasonal treats. Keep an eye on our Farm Stand page for exact opening dates and product updates.
Located just off Route 302 on the Fryeburg/Bridgton line.
Learn How to Raise Coturnix Quail
Quail are straightforward once you understand the basics—but getting off to the right start matters. That’s where I come in. I’ve made just about every mistake out there, and I use this blog to share what actually works.
Whether you’re figuring out brooders, battling low hatch rates, or wondering what to feed growing chicks, you’ll find real advice from the trenches—with enough detail to make you feel confident, not confused.
Breeding for Health, Size & Beautiful Color
Breeding quail is part science, part art—and all joy. My color lines aren’t just for show (though I love the way they brighten up a covey). Each one is selected for temperament, vigor, and productivity, whether you’re hatching for fun or growing your own self-sustaining quail setup.
If you’re a breeder, or thinking about becoming one, you’re welcome to dig into the details of how we run our program. I’m not here to gatekeep—I want you to raise beautiful, thriving birds too.
