We also produce our own maple syrup, boiled the old-fashioned way over wood in our post and beam sugar shack. Pick-your-own apples or buy them freshly picked, enjoy spectacular views of the western Maine mountains from our picnic area, and ride our wagon on autumn weekends. Shop the farm store for our own preserves, maple syrup and cider. We also feature Maine specialty foods and unique gifts.
