So I've been on the hunt around Maine for the best Whoopie pie. This one has hit my top 3. (After…read moreAllyKats and the Amish of Whitefield). Spears Farm offered two flavors today? The traditional chocolate, and then a pumpkin with cream cheese. I'm a Whoopie pie traditionalist. I don't care for the fancy flavors, I want the real true Maine Whoopie flavors. This Whoopie was delicious! It had that nice dense semi sweet cake, that's kind of sticky. I hate the super dry fluffy Whoopie. NO THANK You. This was perfect. The cream inside was amazing.its too bad they don't list the ingredients of their "frosting" on the package. Because I am trying to pin point what the specific ingredient is in my favorite Whoopie pies, that set them apart from others. Spears frosting is similar to the frosting they use at applewald farm in Litchfield. It has a little bit of a zip to it. Salt? Cream of tartar? A certain kind of vanilla? I don't know. But I like this! Yum! Ok so aside from Whoopie pies, they offer local meats and cheeses, seasonal produce, which right now it was just greens, and some tiny tomatoes, Cukes, early summer squash. But there's more coming! They offer honey, maple syrup, jams and jellies. It's very nice inside their farm stand, everything is clean and tidy and organized in a "ohh I need that!" Shopper inspiration kind of way. I always make a point to stop here when traveling through Waldoboro, which sadly, is only about twice a year.

We were driving on Route 1 and saw a sign for cheese, so needless to say, we followed it. It ended…read moreup being a 10-minute drive, and the detour was more than worth it! East Forty Farm and Dairy sells fresh meats and cheeses, the latter under Lakin's Gorges Cheese. We had the privilege of meeting Allison, the cheese maker and owner, and she was incredible. Not only did she tell us all about the cheese and the process, but she also introduced us to her baby cows! It was a lovely experience, and we cannot wait to return for more cheese and try their pork. The cheese itself was delicious. We already ate the Rockweed and it was one of the best cheeses we've had! The middle was briny since Allison adds seaweed to it -- it doesn't get more "Maine" than that. The farm has a self-serve fridge that's cash only but if you ring, Allison will come out and you can pay by card. Lovely spot, lovely people, delicious cheese.

The tidal river is easily accessible within a 10 to 15 minute easy stroll from the parking lot. Horseshoe crabs can be seen spawning in June. Plenty of fish fry hatching in July. Great place to wade, but be mindful about disturbing the horseshoe crab grounds where there is sand. Clams can be gathered at low tide. But make sure you get a permit from the county clerk before hand. The daily clam bag limit is generous. Lovely views of the river, tall grasses and wildflowers. There is even an Osprey nest that gets used in Spring through Summer. A magical way to drink in midcoast Maine without a lot of driving and hiking.

My lackluster rating of this location mostly reflects my experiences with the hot bar (not the wing…read morekiosk) in the meat department - though the overall store prices are also less than ideal, even before COVID hit. I have tried getting hot chicken tenders here five times now, over the past year. Four of those five times the chicken was barely room temperature; two of those times they were inedible tubes of tendon and gristle. I have never had either issue, consistently, at any other Hannaford location. I've shopped at many. I have spoken to staff here twice about this issue. The first time was an older man working the counter, who, when I asked how long the hot food stayed under the lamp before being pulled (expecting to hear "four hours"), replied "until close, when it gets refrigerated". Thinking he assumed I meant just the current batch (it was 5:30 PM), I clarified. His answer remained the same, and he looked at me like I was crazy for asking. That ain't right. The second conversation (after I'd sworn off getting hot chicken here), was initiated because I saw a woman actually temp testing the whole birds under the lamp (located right under the tenders). I thought, "finally, signs of quality control!" As we were speaking, a guy behind the counter pulled five bags of tenders off the heat and replaced them with fresh ones. The woman turned to me and said, "Those should be piping hot". I grabbed a bag, ran for the self-checkout (no line) and was in my car in under three minutes. Took a bite...room temp. And a giant finger of tendon (seen in attached picture). I give up - for good, this time. Chickens of the world rejoice. The last Hannaford I routinely shopped at sold hot foods that would burn your mouth, once in the car, if you didn't let them cool for a bit. So, while I don't know what this store's problem is, this is not a insurmountable condition of serving hot foods.

Not wanting to spend another $50 on lunch at the usual places in town we decided to grab some tuna salad today and eat outside. I bought an Asian salad with noodles and peanuts and carrots and incredible dressing. I swear, this was the best salad I've had in months if not years. I'm not kidding. Even the carrots stood out, were different. Delicious. The fennel is 2 or 3 times bigger than fennel at the grocery stores, $4.99 (usually about $3.99 at the others) 4 kinds of plantain chips. Fantastic low sugar pineapple soda from Mexico. Beautiful corn. After eating this food today at a picnic table over on Pemaquid Pond, we are doing a complete reversal and going to start shopping here a lot more. Yes it's expensive but vegetables do taste different, esp when they're not flown in from far away. And the attitudes of the employees is joyful and welcoming, such a good feeling. Good Job Rising Tide!

They don't have a delivery service, but another wonderful employee said she would be happy to deliver my gift. Within an hour they put together a lovely gift bag for me. Fresh flowers, a bottle of red wine, an array of organic chocolates, a yummy creamy cheese, specialty crackers, grapes, and a lovely card. Kate even wrote my personal sentiments inside the card for me. In about one hour they took my desire to do something nice, and brought my wish into fruition. Talk about angels on earth!! Kate accidently forgot to charge me for the grapes, and wanted to pay for those herself. I can never say enough about the employees of Rising Tide Co-op and their hearts for service. Bravo my friends!! Thank you for all you do!! You deserve acknowlegement for just being you! You can bet if I ever make it back to your area, Rising Tide will be my first stop!
