We stumbled upon it in a tourist magazine advertising their live music. When we arrived, we didn't realize you have to make a reservation for food (be sure to do this in advance). If you don't have one, you can order drinks by the bar and enjoy the fire pit, farm space, and/or live music MAJOR shout out to Greg. The hostess told us if Greg was ok with squeezing us in for food we could do it, and he made it work. They gave us a seat by the live music. We ordered their margherita pizza, lamb burger, and blueberry cheesecake. I'm at a loss for words on how to describe how incredible each dish was. I lived in Maine for a summer 10 years ago. I already know the food scene here is incredible. But this was next level. The pizza was everything I dream for in a Neapolitan pizza. The sauce was delicious and the crust, perfection. We couldn't get over how much we adored the corn. And the lamb burger was great!! My favorite dish was the cheesecake and the way it melted in my mouth. Wow I wish I was there right now. We bought some honey for home. It's a big space and almost feels like a wedding reception when you eat in the main dining room. You have the chance to explore the farm and see all the animals. I highly recommend coming here. The food is beyond amazing.

They move quickly too, as there was a line, that I was hesitant to join, but when I realized how fast it was moving I was willing to be "patient". They have so many varieties to choose from, our favorite our Honeycrisp - they were so sweet and delicious. I feel like that is a sign of a well kept orchard. If you don't want to pick your own they do have pre bagged apples too in the store. They also have baked good treats and candy covered apples. The prices are very reasonable compared to other orchards more toward Southern Maine. It's a no frills type of place, but who needs that when you just want a bag of apples. The tractor ride was entertaining for our nephew. It can get a little chilly and "exhaust fumey" but it's a fun tradition. Parking can get a little tricky since it relies on people to have good spacial awareness. LOL Oh well, trips there shouldn't take you more than an hour. I recommend this orchard if you are in the area.

Once we parked on the lawn parking area, weapproached the backyard where there was a sign instructing us to either ring the bell provided or honk our car horn to get the owner's attention. I elected to ring the bell and the farmer's five-year-old son heard it and called to his dad (as he was instructed to do). Ben, the farmer, greeted us with a warm welcome. He gave us the origin story of the ranch. It was very obvious about he and his wife's passion for these animals. We got a great lesson about these animals. We were able to go into pasture areas for the male and female alpacas (they are kept separate). We learned a lot about the animals and about the fiber from them. After the tour, we went into the small retail area. Ben explained that they have a larger retail shop in town Belfast. We purchased several pairs of socks; their price point wasn't that much different than wool socks. At the entrance sign, there is a small donation box. The tour is free, but the donations are very important. These, along with purchases from the retail store support the great care for their animals. We were there about an hour. It was a great experience.

Ben went with us on the walk and even took a ton of photos for us to remember the experience. We learned a lot about the alpacas and the farm. We had the pleasure of walking Gaius and Maestro. Gaius was mischievous and made the walk interesting. We got to love on their unique personalities for the entire walk. The walk was well worth the small fee! Then we got a chance to visit all the females and they are feisty! I had one spot in my face as they were all bombarding me for treats - and it was hilarious more than anything. I can't wait to return to visit these beautiful animals.
