Jillson's Farm And Sugarhouse

This place is absolutely charming! Today marked the beginning of their 26th annual Christmas on the Farm, and there were so many wonderful crafts available for purchase. Thankfully, they accept credit cards! Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and given woven baskets to carry while we shopped. The venue was bustling, and it's easy to see why. I found some lovely gifts, and I can't wait to make visiting this spot a holiday tradition. I'm also excited to return in the summer for their fresh produce and ice cream!

We stood outside in the chilly 37-degree weather for nearly an hour before getting in, although there was a local guitarist providing entertainment for those waiting. The cost was $12.00, and with only about ten tables that seat 4-6 people each, the line moved slowly. However, the staff was friendly and cheerful. As for the food, it was somewhat underwhelming. I was hoping for bacon or French toast, especially on Maine Maple Sunday, but what was offered wasn’t unpleasant. The buffet included pancakes, scrambled eggs, potatoes, corned beef hash, and sausage patties. I suspect the hash was canned, although I can’t say for sure. The sausage patties were very uniform, so I assume they were frozen. Nonetheless, I didn’t mind too much since my $12 was supporting a local farm. Afterward, we explored the grounds and met some miniature ponies, two oxen, and a horse. We also got to witness the maple syrup-making process and browsed through various maple products like maple coffee, kettle corn, butter, cotton candy, and syrup. Overall, it was a pleasant outing on Easter Sunday.

Fantastic produce featuring picture-perfect summer squash, zucchini, tomatoes, greens, and currently, strawberries! They also offer pickles, jams, ice cream, as well as local meats and butter. The store is just a minute off Sabbattus Street, and it's well worth the detour!

The finest maple syrup, fresh produce, and friendly smiles. We purchase flowers here every year!

The staff there are incredibly friendly! The maple syrup is fantastic!
