I judge every blueberry pie, muffin and blueberry pancake against my memorized palate. Wyman's is the real deal and the closest if not the exact same Blueberry I remember picking as I grew up., I know as I am in charge of quality control. Thank you so much for avoiding the temptation of selling to a corporation...It will never be the same. I love your frozen Wyman's blueberries and we understand your frozen carry more dense nutrients than fresh... How lucky for us...and our dogs steering from diseases;-)) May our Almighty Lord continue blessing you, your family and your extraordinary company.

Organic produce, the nicest cheeses, local wine... a perfect place to stop for picnic supplies. But also groceries: when I'm coming through I load up. They make sauces and soups themselves and have them in the freezer. I'm impressed and inspired by their dedication to local food, most of what they sell is from right nearby or elsewhere in Maine. A great place for gifts too.

The fish and chips others had was met with compliments. And our diner who had the Ribeye thought it one of the best she has had (though the most expensive dish on the menu!).

We had a couple of small things to ask about when we arrived (the trash/TV), but she answered quickly. The location was easy to find and even better than described, and the accommodations were clean, modern & updated, and well appointed. The views were stunning from our relaxing porch and upper balcony, the neighbors were friendly and welcoming, and "town" was just close enough to be very convenient. Some of the people in our group ventured out to other WBF locations like the cafe and The Public House, and had nothing but glowing reviews for those experiences as well. We are already planning our trip back!

It was the perfect addition to my lasagna! On the way home, I picked up a couple more packages cause I didn't wanna miss out. About a month after this, I decided to place an online order.

We highly recommend this farm! They are a great option for a gift as well. Check them out, you will not be disappointed!

We loved this place. It's a large yellow building, easy to find on Main Street in Machias. This is…read morethe site of the first naval battle of the Revolutionary War. We were visiting from the Midwest and admittedly don't recall many details from history class, so we literally thought it was a historical site that had been turned into a bar and wondered if the staff would be dressed up as war re-enactors! It is not that at all and it turned out to be a highlight of our stay in Maine. The guide we had is a history teacher and she knew a lot about a lot-the actual events but also the real humans involved and their families. She knew all about how households of the time were run, typical family routines and roles, how foods were prepared, household tools and textiles, attitudes and social expectations, superstitions and legends. She inspired all three of us (two adults and a teenager) to learn more about Machias and the Revolutionary War in general. This museum makes it so much easier to connect to the real people who lived through and made this history. It is unlike any other historical tour I've been on. I would have stayed longer if I could have. There is something for everyone here, it's not just about the war and shots fired. You go room by room and spend a good 20-30 minutes or longer in each room depending on how many questions you ask about the items in that room. It is a very detailed and data intensive tour, so don't go if you're hungover, hungry or not in the mood to absorb, observe and be immersed. If you are a naval history buff or a Revolutionary War buff, call them and schedule a visit to see if you can help them identify some of the pieces they've received over the years from folks who maybe didn't know what they were donating. I don't recommend this for young kids or people who aren't comfortable in small spaces. The museum is a boarding house/tavern and has been kept pristine in its original 1770s state, so think very small rooms, low ceilings. The tour groups are kept small so there is enough room as you walk through. Call ahead to schedule and make sure there is a guide available on the day you want to go. I was so impressed with the passion and dedication behind this tour. We were there two weeks ago and are still talking about it and looking up books at the library.

However, there were 10-12 people waiting on the porch to go inside, sounded like only 4 people at a time were allowed at a time, so we left after the other people said it would probably be a 1-2 hour wait.
