Oh What A World I Live In…
Hey everyone, it’s been an interesting few weeks. The weather has slowly progressed from ‘meh’ to ‘eh’ to ‘wow!’ It’s really starting to feel like summer here, and I love it. Although I’ve lived in Maine my entire life, the hotter the weather the better for me. I went kayaking last week when the weather…

We are currently fortunate to have a very experienced musician, Jeff Weinberger, coming in and teaching the entire staff to play ukulele. We had our first lesson on Thursday, and through all the laughter and strumming, we actually made serious progress. We learned multiple chords, and put them all together to play the song “Jambalaya” by…

Hey everyone! My name is Emily Corrales. I just graduated from the University of New England with a degree in Sports Management and minors in Business and Coaching. So what brings me here you ask? A new adventure in an unfamiliar place, I would say! I am a recent graduate originally hailing from Connecticut, and…

However, agreeing to pack up my life and move into a camper for three months, three hours away from my home, was more than a little nerve racking. Hello! My name is Amber Jenkins, and I will be working at Searsport Shores-…

April melted into a memory quicker than it ever should. May is following along the same path. We haven’t suffered the dramatic weather that we’ve seen in other parts of the country but I think in 45 days, we’ve had 6 without rain. Cold, gloomy and punishing if you want to get outdoor chores accomplished.…

When I’m taking reservations, one of the most frequent questions I’m asked is “what’s the weather going to be like when I’m there?” 25 years later I’m still stammering over the response. The honest, child-me says “your guess is as good as mine.” The best advice I have is to always anticipate 30 degree fluctuations;…

We finally got a blizzard! Steve braved the storm early for the flock…I thought you’d appreciate knowing how things look here on the coast… Have a marvelous St. Valentine’s Day…a little red passion after a blizzard can’t be anything but wonderful…unless of course it’s a nap
Winter Life
You know, I write on this blog all of the time…the problem is, I do it in my mind as though I’m sending psychic post cards to friends yet somehow I have a million reasons for not actually sitting at the computer and typing you a note…if you are on instagram, you can find…
Read MoreThe Rains of November Have Held Off
Hasn’t it just been the most magnificent Fall? We’re just putting away the sheets that protected the cilantro and beets in the garden because we’ve harvested all but the last straggles. Steve’s found that by planting winter rye on top and around the chard we can protect it from mild frosts and we’ve identified the…
Read MoreThe End of October
We finally closed for the season the other day because the wind and the rain made life outdoors too inhospitable for everyone involved…but it’s always with a mixed emotions. Sure, we’re happy to move into a quieter time where we have long, uninterrupted stretches to focus on tasks at hand but conversely, it’s more fun…
