Reviews of Pettengill Farm
"Especially like the ‘Point Trail’, a nice flat walk that I do all seasons. Cut across the field and the point trail entrance is on the back right of the field on the left. Parking is just on the side of the road, but I’ve never seen it too busy."
"I'm so glad we went to Pettengill Farm for their Farm Day. Music, crafts for the kids, farm animals, and sawyers. Theere was food there, but we didn't have any. The Boy Scouts were pressing apple cider and giving out samples. There was also a wagon ride, which we kept missing. We were able to tour the home. Don't expect a restored museum home. This place is in rough shape, but what a story the peeling wall paper and exposed lathe has to tell! We had a great tour of the grounds adjacent the house and met Millie Pettengill there in her garden. What a great day!"
"Attended the annual farm day event and had a lot of fun. Horse riding, hay wagon rides, games, apple pressing, and a lot more. It was a fun family day! I definitely recommend it to families looking for a low cost, fun thing to do."
"An oasis of calm and beauty only a mile or so from the Freeport outlets. One parks half a mile away and walks through woods to the farm. The wonderfully simple, almost stark, white saltbox farmhouse gradually appears, on the brow of a hill above the Harreseeket River, The house is set amidst vast rolling grassy fields, with paths mown for further walking, all bordered by forest. There are a couple of small outbuilding, but larger barns etc have disappeared, throwing the modest house, with its wood-shaked roof , into greater prominence. Most days it's perfectly quiet, though when the wind is in the wrong direction one can hear the low rumble of traffic on the interstate. One is likely to have the whole place almost to oneself, and can wallow gratefully in the peace and harmony."
"We experienced a wonderful autumn open house here - including horse drawn carriage rides, children's activities, exploration of the house (including the hand drawn sketches on the bedroom walls), and a lesson on salt water marsh hay and cows, held down at the waterside."
