So, here's the thing. Well, two things. First, you could not possibly find nicer shop owners. That…read morematters to me. Second, you could not possibly find cooler stuff anywhere else on the Midcoast. Why shouldn't everything be as beautiful (or funky or just clever) as it is useful? And do all items have to be useful? What I mean is that a person could buy a big bowl from a big store, or one could buy a big oyster bowl from Once A Tree. It may cost a bit more (not always, though) but I'd rather have a few unique, lovely things than many common, mass-produced things. If you think along the same lines, you must check out this shop.

Just wonderful local Maine goods for sale in a nice atmosphere for a great cause.

What helped me buy? * All products were MADE IN THE USA. Really. * The store was easy to shop. Items were placed where you could handle them; prices were clearly marked; and the selection was sufficient, without being overwhelming. * The prices were very reasonable. I googled the items before I bought, and Conklin's was equal to the best price on-line, and better than many retailers. * The owners were on-site; knew their products; and gave great, personal customer service. I'll drive by the stores and shops in Rockland and Camden to experience Conklin's again.

We traveled for a week throughout Maine and found this store to be a dissapointment before even…read moreentering. We travelled with a small puppy i was holding in my arms as courtesy when entering all the stores we visited and 99% of store owners were friendly and welcomed us inside. When we were about to enter this store a man gestured rudely with his hand shooing us due to the puppy i was holding in my arms. I respect rules set forward by business owners and understand if a dog is not allowed however it is unacceptable to treat potential buying customers in such a nasty way. Given my experience and the other negative reviews i can confirm this is not a pleasant place to shop.

The bakery is housed on the right side of the barn and it has some of the best baked goods that I have ever had--and I have had a lot. We walked out with two boxes of an assortment of sticky buns, muffins, chicken pot pie had pies, mini bundt cakes and cookies. There is a much cuter location in Camden where an elderly lady beat me to the last 4 blueberry muffins. I think The Red Barn is a bit of a local secret but it should not be. Delicious baked goods should be known to all. Everything is delicious. We had the sticky buns, nicely caramelized with just enough icing, we had the mini red velvet cake, perfect size. I could go on and on. I will definitely visit every chance I get.
