Maine

My home state of Maine. Beautiful four seasons. Perhaps best known for it's beautiful fall foliage and coastal beaches. But Maine has lots of summer activities, being a coastal state with more coastal area than California! Beaches for swimming or just strolling along to collect shells. Lots of lakes and streams for fishing or just relaxing and having a picnic and enjoy the scenery, (but bring bug repellent for those mosquitoes)! Enjoy our country's first sunrise! Great ski areas for winter fun and lots of agricultural fairs, church suppers, boat excursions, farmers markets, summer strawberry picking, blueberry picking, fall apple picking, crafts fairs all summer and during the shopping holiday seasons, beautiful day trips along the coast or inland to the country to see the farm areas (my favorite)! The Old Port section near Portland's waterfront, has lots of funky shopping for clothes or gifts and artwork. Freeport, north of Portland, has lots of outlet shopping and world famous L.L.Bean's. Maine has several colleges, including the University of New England with beautiful beach views in Biddeford Pool. Enjoy the tidal pools along many of Maine's wonderful beaches, where you can take the kids to see many sea animals, such as the little Hermit crabs. But, please leave them in their natural habitat that they need to survive! You may be able to collect many shells, such as clams, mussels, angel shells, or sand dollars and starfish. But, again, if they are alive, leave them there on the beach, as that is their home! You'll see many seashore birds, especially sea gulls along Maine's coast. Try out Maine's world famous lobster or fried clams. At a lot of places in Maine, you can order up a whole seafood platter to try out the many different dishes of seafare that Maine has to offer. Try out the amusement parks at a lot of the southern Maine beaches, and get yourself and the kids a candied apple or cotton candy or salt water taffy. Maine~ The way life should be~ is our motto!

Maine Agriculture

Maine Dairy and Potato Farms Joining Forces
Over the past century American agriculture became increasingly specialized, with most farms focusing on producing only one cash commodity. While this specialization created economies of scale and management efficiencies and provided many farmers with higher incomes, it is now revealing two major problems: long-term soil degradation and increasing input costs. In an attempt to solve the problems of specialization, some Maine dairy and potato farmers operating near each other are managing their land as a coordinated system while maintaining their specialization. UMaine researchers have studied this coupling in depth and found that the combined land base allows the potato farmer to expand production while maintaining the same rotation sequence. As a bonus, the use of livestock manure improves the soil quality of the potato acreage and replaces purchased fertilizer, and according to UMaine Potato Ecosystem Project data, will eventually result in yield increases of 6% to 10%. The dairy farmers benefit because they can increase the number of cows since more cropping acres can be devoted to feed and the additional manure can be spread over more acres.
Picture shows Aroostook County where most of Maine's potatoes are grown.

Winslow Homer and Rockwell Kent, for example, stayed well into the winter, creating some of the most memorable images of Maine ever made.

Amazon Price: $6.00 (as of 05/27/2012)Buy Now

From Library Journal
Originally published in 1982 and now in its ninth edition, this work by Tree (coauthor of three other Explorer's Guides) and Roundy (a Maine native and a writer for the Maine Office of Tourism) has been expanded and updated to reflect Maine's broader entry into the tourism industry. Logically and geographically organized into seven regional sections, each with clear maps, the book richly lists what to see and do; where to shop, eat, and stay; and annual special events. Phone numbers, readily identifiable addresses, hours of operation, approximate costs, and marvelously detailed explanations of selected facilities are included. The writing is accessible, and the information appears to be correct, current, and unbiased. Empty-nesters and active senior citizens in particular will find this book a boon for information on leisurely getaways and explorations. Some knowledge of Maine's geography would be helpful in deciding where, when, and what to see and do. Overall, this is a good buy for public libraries with patron interest in this topic.

    Gorgeous!! Made it to Maine about 15 years ago, but only far enough in to pick up some delectable blueberries. I can't wait to go back and do the state justice. My brother called me just 2 days ago to tell me he found a place he found through VRBO on the water in Maine and is planning to go hiking in Acadia in August....I'm so jealous. 5*!!

    Thanks for visiting my Kentucky Mountains lens. Baltimore Harbor is the closest I've ever been to Maine. I've always wanted to stand on Maine's seacoast and watch the ocean. Wonderful info here. Five and Fave to you.

    Great lens 5*. I love Maine. We live 21 hours away and drove there in Summer of 2005. We went to Lubec and stayed near the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse. It was beautiful! Missy

    Wow. This is a huuuuge resource. I went to the Yarmouth Clam Festival this year. I took my bike to Portland and tried to ride through the festival to Brunswick. Got rained out, though. Luckily, I still got to enjoy the festival.

    Now I know that I will visit Main in future. Thank you for your invitation. 5*

    I live and do business in Eastport, a charming coastal town in Washington county. Although plagued by poverty for generations, this is a pristine area, that does not get the publicity it deserves. We have the Old Sow whirlpool, the highest Tides, and incredible natural beauty everywhere. Come visit!

    I have friends from Maine. They always talk about moving back. Now I see why.
    Great lens!

    Great job on this lens! Beautiful pictures. I like Acadia myself. There's nothing like driving to the top of Cadillac Mountain and seeing the entire park (and much further!). Added this one to my US Roadtrip lensroll!
