Their balm is great in the winter for dry hands and probably if you are out and about hand sanitizing a lot these days. I just called and when I didn't get an answer the guy called me back later. When we arrived for pick up he came out and got my name and then went and got our order. He was masked and there was a good safe protocol in place and chickens free range everywhere:) they accept checks and cash, but you need exact change unless you are going to go back another time and use up your credit. The guy seemed super sweet and friendly.

The chard, corn, head lettuce, slicing tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, frozen blueberries, scallions, white onions, sweet peppers, fresh baked bread and "Mud Flats" crackers were unbelievable!

Perfectly tender, they were just what the doctor ordered to bring my stir fry to the next level. Nothing will ever be the same. Truly life changing! Thanks Darthia Farm, I'll definitely be back!!

It's the creamiest most delicious goat cheese I've ever had! Our favorite is the Italian but it sells out fast, garlic is second and chive and pepper is great as well. Plain is just deliciously simple and the goat's milk feta is out of this world. On top of all of that they have home made lotions, soaps and other goodies for sale. Always polite and helpful, always best quality, best deal and a MUST stop if you're within an hour of this place!!!

So several years ago, this place brought a new restaurant and event venue to Downeast Maine…read more Sit-down restaurants for dinner are scarce in these parts so if you don't want to make dinner at your rental or eat at a picnic bench, it's nice to have another option. We heard some good things so we made a reservation for an early supper. Decor is modern farmhouse. We arrived on time for our reservation and were seated promptly with menus. We were one of two tables in the room, the other seated a couple of minutes before us on the opposite side of the space. For the next 10 minutes a waitress went back and forth to this other table bringing drinks and taking orders. Another staffer was clearing tables near us and resetting them. Puzzled, one us went to the hosting station and a minute or so later a waitress appeared at the table explaining that someone did not check us in and that's why she did not come to our table. An apology (for the restaurant and/or herself) would have been appropriate but was not forthcoming. The food here runs from good to ok, but occasionally bad due to execution. We arrived hungry and ordered several appetizers. The winner of this course was the lobster bisque which flavorful and full of lobster pieces. The hot crab dip was cheesy and tasty but was served with bland commercial and perhaps stale tortilla chips;some nice toasts points might have been a better option. Our third diner ordered the shrimp cocktail hoping for a taste of the local Gulf of Maine shrimp, but that was not the case. For entrees, the most pleasing was the fish and chips, a generous piece of flaky, nicely fried haddock served with fries and Cole slaw. The smash burger was a double patty with all the trimmings but it lack seasoning and the usual crispness that is associated with the smash of the cold patty against the hot metal of the grill. The smoked salmon BLT was a fail. The bacon was cut to bits, the avocado schmear barely covered half the bun, the lettuce was part of the heart that was curly and made the sandwich fall apart and there was no tomato on the sandwich. For dessert , we shared the blueberry crisp with vanilla ice cream. While the blueberries were tasty as was the ice cream, there was no crisp here on the top except for a bit of oats that appeared to be added before the ice cream without being baked on. Generally, I can overlook some fails like the ones reported but there is no excuse for dirty dishes and unsafe conditions. Drinking water comes in a carafe that you serve yourself by pouring into short blue tinted tumblers. I poured for our table and two of the glasses were not used by us as there were lip prints of lipstick on them. We took two glasses from an adjacent table that was just set and again, one of them was also marked with a lipstick lip mark. Lastly, I asked for a table with a view, if possible. We were seated in a corner with a view of the trees for one of us and a view of the water. I noticed a door with an exit sign near us. It's a door you would not be able to exit as it was a clear 15ft drop to the ground. A wooden 2x4 was affixed to the frame across the door handle so you could not use it. But in case of fire, there was no way to safely escape through this door to no where. I might return under the right circumstances for the bisque and the fish, but I would walk out if I encountered the same safety issues again.
