More than 50 years ago, Helen and Scott Nearing began a farm-field-to-farm-table dining movement from their own property Harborside Farm. The pristine farmstead on the coast of Maine offered fresh cuisine in a gorgeous setting — think farm-to-table dining, only the table is on a working farm and seating is limited.

The homegrown, but elevated dining concept swept the state, which now boasts several top farm-field dining establishments.

Located at Sebago Lake on some of Saint Joseph’s more than 400-acre green campus, The Stone Barn boasts 18 acres of organic crops and livestock. Available for a limited number of diners, guests enjoy menu items curated directly from the farm’s harvest.

Special guests of Flanagan’s Table enjoy monthly dinners at The Barn at Flanagan Farm, benefiting the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association.

Head to Graze Dinners at Pineland Farms in New Gloucester for dinner every Wednesday, late June to early October. Reserve your spot early as guest count is limited.

Over on North Haven Island, guests of Nebo Lodge enjoy monthly barn dinners of island-grown produce, fish, meat and poultry.

Meet 5 Women Shaping the Brixen/South Tyrol Travel Experience

Although a destination’s terrain, cuisine and cultural attributes always draw travelers in, it is often the people they meet that make the trip an enduring memory rather than a box to be checked off. It’s a job responsibility that people working around the Plose and adjoining town of Brixen (in Italy’s Trentino-Alto Adige region) take seriously. This is even more true for five women dedicated to introducing visitors to new aspects of the time-honored ski, leisure and hiking mountain destination in the Dolomites.
