Welcome to our first ever Salt Water Farm MasterClass. Students will stay with us on the farm in our seaside cottage and antique barn apartment and wake up to the sunrise over the Atlantic and the sound of the waves lapping up onto the rocky coastline. Our days will be comprised of hands-on seasonal cooking, long, luxurious lunches, afternoon sails and early evening picnics on mountain tops. Together, we will explore some of Midcoast Maine’s natural treasures. On the farm, we will harvest fruits, vegetables and herbs from the garden, hone our kitchen skills, enhance our ability to entertain large groups with grace and make new friends. We will also explore the best of what the area has to offer, including an easy hike up a mountain, a sunset sail, some shopping around town, a lobster roll lunch and visit a beautiful local working farm and farm store. We can accommodate up to eight guests and welcome both singles and doubles to join us for what is sure to be a magnificent week. See the week’s schedule below. To secure a spot, please email annemarie@saltwaterfarm.com for further details.
Prices range from $3,500-$4,500 for single occupancy and from $2,500-$3,500 for double occupancy (depending on room selection)
