While it might not feel exactly like spring just yet, we’re certainly on our way! The next few weeks will bring greener trees, grass and more trips outside! If you’re a Mainer that loves this time of year, you no doubt also know what it’s like to make stops for snacks before hitting the sunshine-filled outdoors. This is what Vacationland provides to those who have made it through a (very!) snowy winter! Don’t bother with the newer convenience stores this spring. We recommend one of our wonderful general stores. And, this one just might be our favorite!

Owls Head General Store is located near Rockland in, you guessed it, Owls Head!

This delicious creation comes with mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, cheese, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and onions - and of course, the incredibly cooked beef!
