I specifically made it a point to stop…read moreby fields fields. you'll understand why in a second or if you look at the photos I attached. when you first get there, you are greeted by someone who will direct you on where to park to access the farm. it's an easy and short walk from the grassy lot to the main area. once make it to the main area, you will notice many vendors in tents (at least during this event) before you make it to the farm itself. definitely make it a point to stop by the food truck(s), especially the wild maine blueberry crisp cart. I made my way all the way down to pick up an empty carton and head to the blueberry field to try my hand at picking wild maine blueberries. the heat and sun is no joke so definitely stay hydrated and wear sun protection. thinking it wouldn't take that long, it took me a good 40 minutes to go from an empty carton to the full one. it's a pretty rewarding experience because the blueberries are so good, but it does require you to crouch down in the field to pick so it may not be the right adventure for everyone. make sure to scan their venmo or put some cash in the bucket as a suggested donation for the blueberries. let's go back to what I came here for. WOW. the legendary fields fields wild maine blueberry crisp exceeded all of my expectations as both a blueberry lover and a foodie. quite possibly one of the best desserts I've ever had, and definitely the best dessert I've had this year. you get the texture and flavor from the crisp, the sweet, tartness from the wild maine blueberries, and if that's somehow not enough, paired with the refreshing coolness of the scoop of vanilla ice cream (it was hot out) to bring it all together. I wholeheartedly recommend this dessert to anyone. I got the regular version, but they also have a vegan version (no ice cream?) and also everything is gluten-free. forever haunted by how good this was, I got this cutie sticker at the window for $2 to commemorate this experience. I believe they had it on a shirt as well at one of the other tents but this lil guy spoke to me.

I thought Fields Fields was just a blueberry farm, so when I saw their food "truck" (crate? box?)…read moreat the end of the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens Aglow walk I was delighted! As well as a variety of hot herbal teas for $3, they had wild blueberry crisp AND vegan wild blueberry crisp (I'm not entirely sure what the difference between the two is minus whipped cream on the non-vegan one) for $8. And they were really satisfying portions! AND IT WAS THE BEST BLUEBERRY CRISP I'VE EVER HAD. I opted for the vegan one and wow. WOW! It was overflowing with warm, jammy-yet-whole local blueberries covered in an oatmeal crumble. Everything was sugared and seasoned in a way that let the blueberries absolutely shine (and do all the heavy lifting), which personally I prefer! It was one of those Maine-in-a-bite kind of moments. If I could explain this incredible state in one flavor, this absolutely would be it. So, if you ever come across Fields Fields at an event GET YOURSELF A SQUARE OF BLUEBERRY CRISP (probably get two, one for right then and one for later!). You won't find anything else like it anywhere else (except maybe your grandmother's kitchen)!

Great selection of breads, vegetables, plants, sweet treats and seasonal foods and plants!read more

We stopped here as we were headed home from a weekend in Maine. Chase is my maiden name and my…read moreson's first name, so we HAD to go. Upon arriving, we saw all the beautiful Christmas trees for sale and were immediately greeted by a very nice young man who asked if we'd ever been there. He welcomed us to check out the store and that there was complimentary mulled cider, apples, and fresh-popped popcorn and coffee, and a whole sitting area to enjoy it in. We purchased their own Cryovacced beef and sausage, some fresh veggies, homemade baked goods, and some cider. The staff was AMAZINGLY friendly! As we were leaving, my children saw some very small broken Christmas tree twigs in the parking lot and wanted to take them home for the ride so they could smell the pine. Another young man called over to me and said he had a better piece for them than what we found on the ground and he gave them a large branch! It just made their day! Then, my daughter saw the horses and he invited us to go and look at them. It was such a gorgeous setting and we really enjoyed everything we purchased. The sausage is out of this world!!! I'd drive 5 hours just to purchase it again!

Good news is that we are in Maine and it's kind of off the beaten path...so I'm not sure that my review is going to have such a huge impact. But seriously, this place is magical. They might have the most beautiful apple orchard ever. It's like the kind of place that should be used to film a movie and a great location for a wedding-which they offer for a very reasonable rate. On our most recent visit, we picked apples, walked along the grounds, fed the chickens, looked at the sheep, talked to the owner, and bought apple cider. The apples are delicious and they had a good selection to choose from. It's the kind of property that I would want to live on if I didn't have a fear of living in the middle of nowhere.

No one cleaned them up - I had to clean them myself. This was bizarre. There was no housekeeping service either. The heater did not work. My friend stayed downstairs and my friend hurt herself on the bathroom step because there's no light and there's a big step. She broke her foot! The manager didn't seem to care one bit. It ended up costing her thousands of dollars and it ruined our trip. The manager/owner is weird and grandiose and just, well, frankly bizarre. Not really "host-like" if you know what I mean. Not much information about where to go or what to do. The grounds are beautiful and there is a lovely lake and orchards that are breathtaking. There are charming chickens. But for the money? Go up the road to the Tipsy Butler for OUTSTANDING service, wonderful hospitality, and NO BROKEN BONES.
