And an orchard big enough that you won't be on top of other families. Regardless of what you're looking for, Libby & Sons - year after year named ONE OF THE BEST ORCHARDS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY (literally, friends) - has everything you could want from a PYO experience. The corts and macs are always crisp and delicious; the blueberry options are lovely whether you want sweet or tart; the juicy donut peaches are unlike anything I've ever had anywhere (#TeamTangO)... in general, the picking is abundant and plentiful year after year after year. And they do a fantastic job daily updating their website with what's in season, out of season, picked out for the season, pricing structure (it makes sense if you know how hard they tried to stay open during the pandemic/the cost of growing quality and environmentally conscious fruits), etc. The views of the surrounding countryside are breathtaking. The glazed blueberry donuts are the best blueberry donuts I've ever had from anywhere ever. And the people who work here are absolutely the friendliest human beings on earth and genuinely remember you year after year. They make you feel like a welcome part of their family, and I love that (especially in a more automated, less personalized society). If you ever get the chance to talk to the owner about the science of apples (pomology) or the history and future of their personal agricultural story, you absolutely should. I am a more educated, more loyal customer of theirs now because of it!

We originally tried to go to the orchard a few miles away and the lines were huge and the business…read morewas moving extra slow as I didn't think that they were prepared for the onslaught of people getting out of their homes to go apple picking. When we found this, we found a cute little stand that sold bags of apples and pumpkins and and some neat little decorative fall items and then they directed us to the orchards. We then went to the orchards and found a few things that we LOVED about this place. It was cozy, and not as busy and the trees were STOCKED full of delicious apples (honeycrisp for us) and a small little toy train taking people on rides around and just had a small orchard and cozy town feel. We loved it here and the people that worked here where the guy at the front desk of the shack said "Ok, I have two rules .... you over fill this bag with as many apples as you can fit into it and two, eat as many as you can while you are picking" This is different from the other orchard where they weigh your bag and then charge you accordingly where here it is a flat rate for the size of the bag. We loved it and will be back again apple picking season next year.

Fantastic pick your own orchard! They had a great variety to pick for a reasonable price. The…read moresetting is also absolutely stunning. Beautiful orchard atop a huge hill that you can see for miles. We even found a plaque commemorating a 1932 naval expedition to see a solar eclipse! So yes, absolutely stunning views of the countryside in fall. The trees were so full of apples I couldn't believe it! They have a cute little train (tractor and mini wagons) for the kids or young at heart. They also have an apple sling shot, which I'm shocked I've. Ever seen this before because it was very fun. The pick your own is a bit over the hill from their farm stand which can be confusing, but the farm stand is worth stopping at for the donuts and cider. They make the cider and it's one of the better ciders I've had in a long time. Also, it's dog friendly, which weirdly many places are not.

What was so special to me about this place is you can pick your own corn! I've never been or seen farms here that offer that. I got some great corn, peaches and melons. The prices are beyond reasonable- to the point even if they raised their prices a bit- it would just be on par. .75 a ear for corn. $2.49lb for peaches. I wish this farm was closer to me so I can visit more often-

It's on the small side but has gorgeous produce grown and picked or other goods baked or created by the people who sell them to you. I bought a couple of gorgeous apples whose name I forget, but the one I just ate was fabulous and I wish I'd bought more. I was tempted to drive back, but resisted because thunder and heavy rain was predicted, though it didn't materialize. We bought some garlic herb goat cheese from Four Hearts Farm and a blueberry scone from another stall. The baker of the scones also had pies and breads, more sweet than savory, muffins and other assorted baked goods. We admired some stunningly gorgeous plum tomatoes and I wish we'd bought them. Finally, we bought some white nectarines, so far superior to the ones at Hanaford as to seem like another species entirely. It was a marvelous farmers' market w/ other produce we didn't buy because we're not home and can't use it, like eggplant and other vegetables. Alan just ate one of the nectarines and pronounced it juicy and delicious. "I took a bath in it!", he said.

I would go back! People that worked there were really nice too.

You scream. I…read morescream. We all scream... for site made ice cream on a working Maine dairy farm ! This is a special place... a farm on a hill with their own farm shop featuring glass-bottled milk, sandwiches, and most importantly... Ice Cream ! Starting mid-April or so, they open up "The Barnyard" which is a nice little petting zoo for the kids... and occasionally a "Goat Yoga" spot for adults... which is just so uniquely crazy it almost makes me wish I did yoga. Not into yoga...? I get you. Lucky for us, they also have a hardware store / lumber yard, so you could feasibly come for Mocha Chip and stay for the 4x4 milled posts, and that's not an experience you'll soon get at a national big-box lumber store. Or a Baskin Robbins, for that matter. This place is an experience. The farm is gorgeous, the staff are friendly, the animals are fun, the lumber yard is definitely there, and the product... well that's where it's at... it's excellent. There are a few working dairy farms like this one dotted around the state, and I encourage you to check out each and every one. Smiling Hill Farm is that extra special sort of place, where it's only a few miles drive outside of Portland, but it feels worlds away and it's so, so worth the effort to get to. They also have ready-to-go quarts in the freezer, their various dairy offerings, and rotating, seasonal farm shop fare. Support your local farmers! Also... I've found the local barn cats to be super friendly and just a treat to hang with. YMMV
