It’s a farm. There’s a lot of people and machines that work there. They have cheese, usually chèvre, mixed with herbs. It’s good. They have a freezer that they keep the bodies in. The bodies of pigs and chickens. Sometimes just the pork chops. Often the whole chicken. It is a beautiful spot. Sometimes they do these things called barn dinners. I haven’t been to one. However the chef is very good; the barn of the farm is transformed into a dining room for the evening. The vegetables are very fresh, too. They’re only available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 – 1. Often times there is a line to buy beets and other leafy greens.

Fresh grown vegetables, meat, and dairy products on the island! Whoo hoo! Not exactly«cheap»(tho nothing really is when you live on an island). Everything here is top notch organic. Much of what is grown, raised, and farmed is used at Nebo Lodge in the village(same owners). The farm stand is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and at the farmers market in the village on Saturday mornings. During the peak summer months(July and August) you’d be smart to show up early. The lines can be long, however service is at a friendly pace. Everyone is smiling and having fun. This is as much a social affair as it is a buying excursion. You’re not in a hurry, you’re on vacation. There isn’t always a large quantity of specific items available, and it’s on a whatever-is-available and first come, first serve basis. If you can’t find something in the freezer or on the tables, just ask — I’ve had the help there scramble around the farm and actually find extra items that had been stashed away. My one, and only, complaint is that the house-made sausage is not fatty enough and thus tends to lacks flavor. More fat please! I want my sausage yummy, not dry like sawdust! :) The sausage recipes could be tweaked a bit. There’s no reason this shouldn’t be great. Bring the kids and wander around the farm. Visiting and wandering is encouraged. Go find the goats and pigs… Enjoy the awesome views of Goose Rocks Lighthouse and eastern Pen Bay.
