We were unable to make a return trip to High View this past winter, but to go there for a sleigh ride and some hot chocolate is a memorable treat! These folks are some of the finest you will ever meet! An amazing tradition!!

Stopped in late one day last fall and wondered what might still be available in the greenhouse - wandered in and found JUST the old school, classic garlic chives I'd been looking for everywhere and unable to find. Stopped by a different time once and found "the SECRET" peach trees still bearing the last of that year's fruit. Picked every one I could find and took my MANA up tot the desk for pay for the haul and they WOULD NOT LET ME PAY - said, "End of the year's harvest!! Enjoy!!"...and, BOYYYYOBOY< were they Goooo-ooood!!! Numerous apple varieties, lots of yummjy baked goods and other "put up" delicacies in the store, and I would also like to add: we bought our Christmas tree from Thompson's this year LITERALLY ON Christmas eve, and it was THE BEST, FATTEST, Hartiest, longest lasting Christmas tree we ever had!

Heading for US-1, I was approaching Chase Farms when I spotted their sign that read; MAKING MAPLE SYRUP TODAY. I pulled into the parking lot. Inside, I was directed to the large greenhouse room where the evaporator was set up. There, a gentleman was stoking the fire with two more big logs. He offered a small paper cup with a sample of the syrup being made. It was very hot. It took 5 minutes to cool it off to a medium temperature. It was the dark amber syrup that’s richer, sweeter, has a stronger flavor and is perfect with pancakes. As expected, it had a very strong maple flavor and was quite sweet just as it should be. It was delicious. Out in the store, there were bottles in different sizes for sale. I also visited the Chase Farms Bakery section where I got a Maple Cream Whoopie Pie at $3.99. Also in the Bakery, freshly-baked pies were cooling on the back counter. They smelled wonderful. There were also freshly-baked quick breads. The Blueberry Breads looked really good. Maybe next time. Chase Farms has been family-owned and continually-operated since the 1600’s. It sells its own produce and farm-raised beef and pork products. The animals are fed an all-natural diet with no antibiotics or growth hormones. Chase Farms also sells Bell & Evans chicken which I all-natural. A woman was restocking some of the newly-arrived chicken products during my visit. Tackling the Maple Cream Whoopie Pie was a daunting experience. It was huge ~ bigger and thicker than an 8 oz. hamburger. I had to eat it in six parts as it was quite sweet and quite rich. It was also quite delicious. I liked the very strong maple flavor. As a native New Englander, I love the maple flavor in syrup, foods and even coffee. I’ve been shopping with Chase Farms at this store and the seasonal outpost stand on US-1 for many years and have been pleased with everything I’ve purchased. The quality is topnotch. I rate Chase Farms at 5.0 and highly recommend a visit any time of year. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below.

Goughan's Berry Farm is wonderful for a family outing. We missed the strawberry picking but arrived just in time to pick our own raspberries. They have a cute putt putt golf course, an animal barn with welcoming animals to pet, education on the making of maple syrup and fabulous homemade ice cream in some very unique flavors. Everyone is very friendly too.

We make our own yarn in our mill from wool from our sheep and alpacas. We also make olive oil-based soap, Good Karma Soap.
Loved our visit here! Amy was so kind to show us some animals and we were able to see much of the production process. I will love knitting with the yarn that I bought there. We also bought some great smelling soap.

This is an awesome experience and you feel like you are visiting friends from college that had gotten off the hamster wheel and had the guts to get back to nature with dairy goats . You are welcomed with coffee and homemade scones as you catch on the last ten years and you to think this maybe the life for you Then you had out to meet the goats chicken and sheep After a quick lesson you are expert in milking a goat using both hands Then you off for a short hike with the goats which is much safer than running with the bulls You get check out the pigs and the turkeys At this point you start to wonder how you get invited back for dinner but you have to settle for fresh ginger snap cookies with warm goat milk that you had gotten from the goat It was so much fun and not that far from Portland Maine they are had guest house That May be the way to get invited to dinner
