This Maine General Store Is Situated In The Middle Of A Beautiful Working Farm

One of the things we love most about the state of Maine is the hardworking folks who live here! These are the people that make some of our favorite shops and restaurants possible. And, in this case, these are the folks who have created one of the most wonderful little general stores we’ve ever seen. Located on a working farm, this little place is worth visiting from anywhere in the state.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
