Toddy Pond Farm

The land where Toddy Pond Farm is located has a rich history of farming, dating back to the early 1800s.  At present it is where a single family makes their home, working with the land and animals here to operate a small 100% grass fed dairy and diversified family farm.  Tucked away at the end of a dirt road, Toddy Pond Farm is a wonderful mix of bustling farm life and quiet natural beauty.  Hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, camping, and star gazing are just a few of the many activities our guests enjoy while visiting.Learn more about this land:The Toddy Pond Farm cottage is a warm and welcoming place rich with history and natural beauty.  Situated on a 500+ acre working farm, the cottage overlooks Toddy Pond and the mountains beyond.  Enjoy these views and those of the farm from the front screened porch, or pick blueberries from the back patio and listen to the owls in the evening.  Inside, the cottage has a full kitchen, 2 full bathrooms, full laundry and 3 bedrooms & sleeping nook; the master bedroom with a new queen bed downstairs and upstairs the cozy full sized sleeping nook with privacy curtains, the front guest room with a full sized bed and the back guest room with a twin.  In all, the cottage comfortably sleeps up to 7.  The cottage itself dates back many years - be sure to read the original walls with each visitor's hand-written messages.  In the living room / dining room area there is table seating for 6 and a couch and chairs near the wood stove.  There is no television in the cottage, but wifi is available.  The comfortable window seats have been known to trap a lazy afternoon reader into a blissful nap on more than one occasion.  Outside the cottage, feel free to explore the woods on several private hiking trails, or visit the farm animals of Toddy Pond Farm; a working dairy farm with sheep, goats, cows, pigs and chickens.  Feel free to stop by the dairy in the morning to see how the milking is done or come watch as we put the animals out to pasture for the day.  There is even a farm store where you can buy fresh milk, cheese, yogurt and even ice cream - all made right here on the farm in our Maine licensed dairy facility.If swimming, boating or fishing are what you enjoy then take a walk through the woods down to Toddy Pond and enjoy the private landing complete with raft, four kayaks and a canoe.  Over 1 mile of private frontage on the pond ensures complete privacy and quiet, though you will probably hear the loons out on the water.  Enjoy additional views on the Pond View Trail complete with 2 bridges as you walk along Toddy Pond in a loop back up to the cottage.If you are looking for a place to get away from it all without having to drive for miles and miles into the wilderness, then Toddy Pond Farm is the place for you. During your visit you will see and hear wildlife and all the other amazing sights and sounds of nature and yet the wonderful bustling seaside city of Belfast is just a 15 minute drive away with it's art galleries, natural food stores and numerous eclectic dining options.  It really is the best of both worlds here.Toddy Pond Farm was recently featured in a Boston Globe article about farm stays here in the USA We hope you decide to come stay with usBest - Greg & Heide

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.

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.
