Farmhouse Retreat

The Farmhouse is 200 years old, and in the last 75 years it has been owned by the Dube' family. There are many stories to share, don't be shy and ask as many questions as you wish.Learn more about this land: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" for an inspiring view. It's truly a special place. Mike & Gai were married there.

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

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

Howling Goat Farm and Grange

Come visit a converted Grange hall that was MOVED to its current location 10 years ago! Nestled on 35 beautiful acres, it gives you the chance to choose meadow or forest camping along with meeting some new animal friends!Learn more about this land:Come join us on Howling Goat Farm where you can pitch a tent on our field site for a front row seat of the night sky and a spectacular view of the Milky Way. OR we have a secluded site in our wooded area that you are more than welcome to stay in for a more private experience! We are a non-conventional camping area where we don't want anyone to think that they are sardines stuffed into a tiny lot. We keep our bookings to a minimum so more often than not you'll have a whole field to yourselves with more privacy than any other campground. We hope you'll join us for a few days of farm life and the simplicity that we can provide.  We are within 4 miles of 95 and  centrally located between Rangeley, Baxter, Moosehead and Acadia National Park.

Three Ravens' Farm

Three Ravens' Farm is located between two beautiful lakes, surrounded by a large, private land trust and nestled in quiet, quartz-laden woods. We have an acre of biodynamic, permaculture gardens surrounded by a sauna, fire pit and picnic area with beautiful shade trees. We have been diligently working to create sacred spaces and steward this land as authentically and intentionally as we can. So, we hope there are new spaces and surprises every time you visit! There is also a lush island in the middle of the lake if you want to explore some older growth pine and hemlock. You might even see a pine marten! Learn more about this land:Camping under the stars and beautiful hardwoods allows you to hear the loons flying over from one lake to the other. Wake up and walk down to the lake and go for a swim. Go for a hike after breakfast by the fire on the miles of trails in the Kennebec Land Trust that surrounds our farm. 

Parker Pond's boat launch is right across the road from the campsite

The communal fire pit is on the farm close to the house

Maine Primitive Skills School

The land was purchased by Mike and Karen Douglas in 1996 and has been the site of their residence and that of Maine Primitive Skills School, which teaches Wilderness Awareness, Survival and Self-Reliance Skills to hundreds of students from around the country and the globe each year. The land is split by Church Hill Road. The west side of the road is where the majority of the school's facilities are located and where most of the day-to-day activities take place. The plot east of the road is used for overnight experiences and as a place to observe animal tracks and sign. The forest here is a classroom as much as it is a garden. It has been tended with a caretaker attitude for two decades to increase the bounty of edible foods for animals and humans alike. We hope that all our visitors can enjoy and carry on this tradition by participating conscientiously with our sacred forest.Learn more about this land:Park your car at our parking lot near the road. Cross the boardwalk over the wetland. Walk through the clearing up a slight incline, to the trail-head, through the mixed hardwood forest, to a secluded campsite where you can watch the stars and listen to the sounds of the forest in the privacy of your campsite. Over 1000 acres of quiet State Wildlife Management land sits adjacent to our plot of land and is yours to explore! If you're up for a hike, follow the ATV trail to Spectacle Pond which is a 100-acre lake with an island in the middle. There are two disc golf courses within walking distance down the road from the trail-head if that's more your style.  We run Maine Primitive Skills School, and the main facilities are located across the road. We rent out this area of the property to campers when we are not utilizing it for courses. Feel free to come on over and say hi! If you need any tips on making your camping experience more enjoyable we're the people to ask.
