We stumbled upon Spear Spring Farm as we drove out to Rockland for a day trip. We saw all these chickens just roaming around, and right after we saw the sign for the Farm, so we just had to go in. We were met by the nicest woman -- I believe she works at the farm -- and she was so friendly and welcoming. She shared that all the veggies are grown right at the farm, all organic. They also partner with local vendors to sell other cool stuff, from art to soaps. Unfortunately their eggs were sold out when we visited, but we left home with some beautiful carrots. I recommend stopping by Spear Spring Farm if you're in the area -- there's something for everyone here.

Thankfully we made it for their last open weekend for 2021! Service was extremely friendly - and we learned a ton about the winery and their practices. My husband listened to a podcast about the winery (which is why we'd wanted to visit), and the owner used to plow only using a horse. They have since switched to more modern ways - but I love that their wines are all-natural and with as minimal intervention as possible. The wines themselves are fantastic!! We had a 1/2 pour of each of the six offerings (sparkling white morphos, sparkling rose morphos, Chardonnay, cab franc, merlot and a cider) and I truly was surprised to find they are all GREAT!!! The sparkling white and Chardonnay were my favorites, but the reds were nice and dry and full of flavor. The cider was also dry and tart - it is lovely! The rose morphos was a bit too sweet for me, but tasty nonetheless! We will absolutely be back next time we are in the area!

Fun! We based our…read moresummer family vacation around the Lobster festival and used Camden and Lincolnville as our base camp to explore. We had a good time but were a little disappointed honestly bc, while it's not small, it wasn't as large as we anticipated. There is one main tent that has steamed lobster as well as several soups and chowders. Nearby is also a line for lobster rolls and you a get lobster nachos and such. There was a cute tent with merchandise which was pretty well stocked with mugs, hats, magnets, t-shirts and tons of other cute lobster-themed goodies. Some food trucks scattered about offered other options and there were a good 20-30 vendors selling other wares and crafts.

From Reno, Nv. we flew into Portland, ME. to the Maine Lobster Festival. Yes, finally scratching…read morethis off my bucket list. Festival runs from July 30- August 3rd. The Festival is located at Rockland's Harbor Park, is easy to find on Main Street. There is FREE parking at South Elementary School (30 Broadway, Rockland, ME) where a free shuttle bus will take you downtown to the Festival. Buses run every 30 minutes or less. Entrance gates are located on Main Street and Park Street. It was sprinkling our first day at the festival therefore the lines were nonexistent; loved it! I was here for the Lobstah but there were quite a lot of food vendors if I wanted to have fish, chicken or pork. A lot of drink options as well, boba, beer, lemonade and plenty of other soft drinks. We purchased the 3 lobster dinner for 85 dollars it came with a corn in the cob, hot drawn butter, slaw, bib, salt, pepper, 1 napkin, 1 wet wipe and a plastic wobbly pick I'm guessing to aid with getting the lobster out of the shell(useless). We also got a Shore dinner for 59, which came with 1 lobster, big steamed clams, corn on the cob, chowder of your choice, they had about 5 different types, we got the haddock, it was chunky and had a lot of flavor.They sell lobster crackers for 8 dollars shaped like a claw but they are also useless without a real handle and once you get butter on them, which it's inevitable, they get slippery and you have the 1 thin paper napkin to work with. Anyway, BYO cracker and napkins; Messy transaction but lots of fun! They have a tent with lots of arts and crafts. Local artists showcase their work and it's all available for purchase. I saw a few ladies selling knitted items and home made jewelry too. So many beautiful things, you're sure to find something for everyone to take home. All people working here are volunteers and they are sweet and friendly. I plan on returning for sure. It was a super chill and fun experience. Loved it!

Still, SUCH a bummer.

Two sausages sliced. Not hot links, not kielbasa, but some meat product with no oomph. The one bbq sauce option on the table was red and bland.
