Auburn

Wallingford's bakes apple cider donuts, pies, and apple dumplings on-site, and runs pick-your-own for raspberries, apples, and pumpkins through the season. A corn maze, pumpkin patch, and playground round it out, so it reads more like a fall destination than a plain farm stand. It sits on Perkins Ridge Road in Auburn, next door to Apple Ridge Farms.

LEWISTON

Provencher Landscape & Nursery operates a garden center and retail nursery on River Road in Lewiston, alongside a full landscaping and contracting business. The shop carries plants, gardening supplies, and gift items, while the crew handles design and installation work for area properties.

They also sell fresh vegetables, flowers, pumpkins, Christmas trees, and wreaths, and host seasonal events like spring sugar parties and a fall hayride.

New Gloucester

The United Society of Shakers at Sabbathday Lake is the last active Shaker community in the world, founded in the 1780s on Route 26 in New Gloucester. Members still sell herbs, baskets, woodenware, and handwoven goods much as their predecessors did, and the museum holds roughly 13,000 artifacts across fourteen historic buildings. The 1794 meetinghouse still hosts public Sunday worship, and around 10,000 visitors tour the village each year.

Mechanic Falls

Harvest Hill Farms' Pumpkin Land operated for years on Route 26 in Mechanic Falls, drawing families for pumpkin picking and fall hayrides.

The farm has since added vegetable and flower gardens sold locally.

Gray

Ten Apple Farm in Gray runs goat hikes, both public group outings and private bookings, plus a virtual option they call Goat-Grams for people who can't make it in person. The farm also hosts workshops, a retreat called the Woods House, and has published its own books. It's less a working farm than an experience built around its goats — reserve ahead, since sessions fill by group size.

North Yarmouth

Hansel's Orchard picks apples off trees that are roughly 80 years old, big and wide enough that the farm says stories get written about them. McIntosh comes in first in September, followed by Cortland and Macoun through October. Open 10 to 5 during harvest, with pre-picked bags left at the entrance stand after hours for latecomers.

Wales

Earley Farm sells two different things under one roof: bulk landscape material — mulch, compost, loam, crushed stone — and a pick-your-own patch with blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. The nursery side stocks balled-and-burlapped shade, fruit, and flowering trees. The farm stand opens Mother's Day weekend; the bulk yard runs Friday and Saturday, 9 to 4.

Cumberland

Terison has run as a u-pick orchard since 1946, now in its fourth generation, and the family calls it the first pick-your-own orchard in Maine.

Cumberland

Longwoods Alpaca Farm raised a herd of alpacas for fiber on this Route 9 property from 2004 until 2016, when the last animals were sold; the farm itself changed hands the following year.
