Incredibly rude. Called repeatedly, left messages on vm daily for days to try to plan a family…read moreexcursion. They never returned calls. I eventually reached a live person on my third day of trying to book a trail ride for family; they were rude about booking, wouldn't allow an 11 year old experienced rider to ride without a rope led companion horse and said they didn't know if the possibility of rain would affect the ride and whether we'd go out. I guess they're too busy for "tourists".

I didn't really get along with one of them but I have a feeling it's because the horse could tell I don't know diddely about riding a horse. hahaha. Anyway, the two farm dogs came along for the walk too and they were fun to have around as well. Highly recommend Deepwood Farm!

Highly recommend FEC. My wife and family have been riding and training at this barn for almost 10…read moreyears. Great facility. The owners just recently helped us purchase a dressage horse from another barn in New York and we couldn't have been more pleased with their attention to detail through out the process. If you are looking for a barn that focuses on Dressage you will not find one better than FEC. The world class clinics of Olympian Dressage riders and trainers that they bring to Maine are incredible. Their knowledge about Dressage is second to none. The owners have high expectations because they are a cut above the barns that do group lessons or just trail ride. I couldn't imagine my wife or daughter riding anywhere else.

We learned about Flaherty's Family Farm from friends and am really glad they told us about it!…read more First off, they have a huge selection of beautiful trees. There are a number of eager employees to help get your tree ready to take home and loaded, too. Inside, you'll find employees who will help you design custom wreaths,too. In the market, there is a well stocked fish counter and lobsterpound, too. Aside from that, there are fresh veggies and a huge stock of fresh baked goodies. The employees were all super nice, too. This will be the place we get our tree from now on!

I have been taking lessons with Kate for a month and could not be happier! She is knowledgeable,…read morepatient, and kind. Kate emphasizes a collaborative partnership with the horse, and makes sure both you and the horse are having a great time. I am so glad that I learned about her riding program based out of Solid Ground in Scarborough. It is a wonderful, welcoming place where the horses (and mini donkey) are loved and cared for like family. It is so important to find the right coach and the right barn, and I found it with Kate Bennett! She has such a nice way of connecting with both people and horses.

Our guide Kaitlyn was very patient with the two younger children on our ride, and always gave useful advice. The guide would keep checking back at the group along the trail to make sure everyone was ok. Took pictures for us at the end as well which was nice! I think some of the negative reviews on here mostly have to do with Groupon, which it seems they do not use anymore. Another negative seems to be towards the owner, whom I did not meet, but her employee Kaitlyn was very responsible and knowledgeable! Give them a try, I had a great time! I brought my boyfriend who had never ridden a horse before, and he wasn't screamed or yelled at! Very positive experience.

Wanting to celebrate Maine Maple Sunday without driving too far, my friend and I chose Cooper's…read moreFarm in Windham (and weren't surprised to see many other Portland-based faces there). Which advertised that they had maple syrup demos all day, complimentary maple syrup on ice cream, a self-guided walking tour of their farm, and maple-products for sale (including syrup, candy, coated nuts, cotton candy, whoopie pies, etc.)... and, yep, that's EXACTLY what we got! The only thing we were missing was watching someone actually tap a tree (or provide a hands-on demo of such a fun thing). Still... it was a great time! Mostly, Cooper's is a small farm raising registered AMHA mini ponies (which they've been doing since 2004). They also have a greenhouse, raise registered Charolais cattle, and have some gorgeous peacocks. All of which you can check out, take photos of, but shouldn't really be touching ("please don't feed your fingers to the mini ponies" being one of the better signs I've seen in a while!). We had a great time on Maine Maple Sunday, despite the negative temperatures thanks to a terribly fierce wind chill. We only had to wait in line for about ten minutes to check out the sugar shack (we arrived at 10:30am; when we left around noon, the line was out to the street though... lesson here? On Maine Maple Sunday COME EARLY), which was warm and steamy. The employees inside were abundantly nice, patient, thoughtful, and well educated. Kudos to them for maintaining those dispositions with the hoards of people coming through! There was ALSO a pancake and bacon breakfast for just $7.50, peacock feathers for sale for just $1, and - yes - loads of maple-based goodies. I left with some amber syrup "rich in flavor", candies, and maple coated cashews (which are sweeter and more maple-y than I expected them to be.... so sinful!). Yum. Anyway, if you're looking for somewhere close by to celebrated Maine Maple Sunday in years to come, Cooper's will provided a couple hours of entertainment for sure!

I loved going to Cooper's Maine Maple Sunday! This was my first maple Sunday but if this is how it…read moreis every year I wouldn't mind doing it again (or at least stopping by to get some awesome maple products every once in a while). First we took the tour through the hut where the syrup is made. The gentleman working the station was very knowledgable. I wish I had more questions prepared for him. The tour ends in a shop complete with maple cotton candy, maple shakers, maple nuts (the cashews are AMAZING), amber and dark maple syrup, and maple candies. I bought everything haha it was all so good. Then as you exit you get a small vanilla ice cream topped with maple syrup. Super great addition to the tour even though it was cold outside. We were then able to walk around the premises and saw the most adorable mini ponies (one had a new born!). Then we found the cows, peacocks, pheasants, and trees that were tapped for sap. Cooper's for MMS (that's what the cool kids call it) was fun and educational. I would go to another event at this farm :)
