Tir na nOg Farm

Highland cattle graze at the forest's edge on our Celtic-heritage farm: a gentle retreat with options for woodland wandering, farm-fresh breakfasts (weekdays only, must be requested one week in advance), and campfires complete with traditional Gaelic music!

Our 40-acre farm includes heritage-breed animals, organic gardens, and over 30 acres of conservation woodlands. We favor scythes over tractors--your stay will be quiet and fume-free!  Bradbury Mountain and several trail networks are nearby, along with rivers, ocean beaches, and an excellent locavore food scene.  

Since the early 1800s, this land on the edge of Chandler Brook has nourished bodies and spirits alike.  Sloping pastures meet well-managed woodlands, making this a haven for both humans and wildlife. Since the 1980s, we have worked to restore the soil and make a "hand-built" life as farmers using pre-industrial organic methods.  We maintain pollinator habitats, tend an orchard of heirloom-variety fruit trees, and conserve rare heritage-breed animals, including Tamworth pigs and Scottish Highland Cattle.  Our shared love for Celtic folk culture has blended naturally with our love of sustainable agriculture to create Tir na nOg Farm.  Today, the work of restoration continues with the help of farm partners, family, friends, WWOOFers, and other volunteers. This land is already better than we found it, but we hope it will remain a gathering-ground of culture and agriculture, tradition and innovation for generations to come.

Quieter and easier to reach than Bag-End, via a peaceful woodland path with solar lanterns.

Private woodland nook, always ready for Second Breakfast!

Hillside view of the Hobbit House (with standard human-sized door for optional use)

Cosy interior with room for one visiting wizard or up to four hobbits

A peaceful view from inside, almost worthy of Middle Earth.

The Upper Farm

The Upper Farm is set on 70 rugged acres in southern Maine. Pitch your tent under the cover of mature hardwoods alongside a babbling brook, in fields blanketed by the Milky Way, or atop the solitude of secluded ledges. Your neighbors are deer, fox, and other native animals. Boat, canoe or kayak at nearby Worthley Pond, a spring-fed mountain waterway known for its fishing. Peru provides easy access to western Maine attractions, including Rangeley, Sunday River and Kingfield, to name a few. You may choose to get your hands dirty right on the farm--pitching in with chores and animal husbandry. Take a class on fiber arts, learn how to scale and saw logs, or just relax on our secluded mountain homestead.Learn more about this land:The Upper Farm is set on 70 rugged acres in western Maine.

Slippery Rock Trails LLC

Forty five years ago, our family started assembling 400 acres of woods and fields on the banks of the beautiful Androscoggin River.  We enjoy actively managing the property for wildlife habitat and tree growth. The diverse landscape includes over 1/2 a mile of river frontage,  a 10 acre wildlife pond, rolling hills in the meadows and steep forested terrain with more than 10 miles of multi-use trails running throughout.   Our lands have long been open to local hikers, bikers and cross country skiers, we are excited to share this beautiful property with a larger community.  Scout for wildlife and birds, on our private 400 acres of forests and fields. Tire yourself by hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, or cross country skiing the 10 miles of private trails.  Located across the river from Riverlands State Park, just minutes from Lewiston-Auburn, Bates College, local breweries and just 2 1/2 hours from Boston. Wildlife abounds both on the property and across the river at Androscoggin Riverlands State Park.Quite often, a gentle breeze off the water will offer relief from black flies and mosquitoes, but the right bug repellent is recommended especially to fend off those pesky ticks that are so common in Maine.

Close easy picnic table that won't leave you far from the indoor kitchen area.

Upside down binoculars not included, but hey, if you want to use em the right way (or wrong way, why not) bring a pair for infinite bird watching opportunities. 

A true wonderland for the young and old alike. 

If you want to catch the river fog, wake with the sun after a cooler summer night. 

We opted for the site overlooking the water, and needless to say, we weren't sorry.

The inside doesn't feel "tiny" or micro sized in any way.

Pitch your tent in our fields surrounded by wild blackberries as big as Mike's thumb. Or hang your hammock in the treeline. Take a walk up to "The Ridge" via the "Wedding Trail" for an inspiring view. It's truly a special place. Mike & Gai were married up there.

It was cool exploring the woods on the property where Mike teaches primitive survival classes.

The awesome view from the top of Mike's driveway and front yard

The field we camped in was withing viewing distance of the farmhouse.

Our morning breakfast was turkey eggs from Mike's turkeys!

The raised fire pit is created from a repurposed washing machine drum!
