Winter is such a special time here in MidCoast Maine! Though the weather can certainly be cold, we relish the chance to enjoy an impressive variety of winter activities. Downhill and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, winter hiking, ice-skating, ice-fishing and even tobogganing are all easily accessible from the Farm!

MidCoast Maine comes alive with holiday magic during the Christmas season! With its charming coastal setting, picturesque streets adorned with twinkling lights, and so many festive activities, the MidCoast offers a perfect destination for a memorable holiday getaway!

It is a truism that here in northern New England we don’t have four seasons, we have six. Of course we have Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. But we also have those awkward hump seasons: Mud Season, after the snow and ice have melted and before the earth has greened, when the ground lies soggy and brown; and Stick Season, after the last foliage has all fallen, before the world is blanketed in white, when the trees stand bare and gangling.

One of the pleasures of being at the farm full time this year has been getting to watch the arc of autumn from the first hints of color to the last leaves clinging to the trees. Here are a few poems that reflect moments of that progression.
