Bar Harbor
Bar Harbor is a town on Mount Desert Island along Maine’s Frenchman Bay. It serves as a gateway to the mountains and cliffs of neighboring Acadia National Park. It is known for its stunning coastal beauty, its many yachts and lobster boats, and its view of islands and ocean in settings that can range from glistening sunlight to thick fog and mist. It slows our lives down so we may appreciate nature and the relationships with those in our lives whom we love even more.
Acadia National Park
Acadia National Park protects the natural beauty of the highest rocky headlands along the Atlantic coastline of the United States, an abundance of habitats, and a rich cultural heritage. At 3.5 million visits a year, it's one of the top 10 most-visited national parks in the United States. Visitors enjoy 27 miles of historic motor roads, 158 miles of hiking trails, and 45 miles of carriage roads.
Taft Point Preserve
The conserved land consists of 65 acres of woodlands and a half mile of coastal frontage with spectacular views of the Acadia Mountains, Stave Island, Calf Island, Schieffelen Point and Schoodic Mountain. This preserve features two trail loops with beach access. Along the Flander’s Bay Trail, peer into an old well. At low tide, large areas of the rocky beach are open to explore. Eider ducks raft up on the rocks just off shore and shorebirds work the rack line of the extensive rockweed colony along the shore. 
Mandala Farm
At Mandala Farm we specialize in farming with Fjords. These horses provide us with the horespower we need to plow and cultivate our gardens, bring in our hay, haul out firewood and help with our other farm chores. In addition to the Norwegian Fjords and the crops they help bring in, we raise Cashmere goats, chickens, sheep, cows and pigs. We raise these animals for fiber and meat. They are all grass-fed, naturally raised, free of hormones and antibotics, as is best for their health and ours.
