Over the Moon Farmstead is a wine/craft beer establishment.  It is situated on top of a hill, and the view is spectacular.  The view overlooks the rolling hillside, and it takes your breath away.  Mike, the owner, said the view sold him on buying the property.  It was a horse stable a mere fourteen months ago.  The transformation in such a short time is astonishing.  The stable is now a tasting room with huge glass windows, which brings the outside in.  Plans to establish a stone pizza restaurant were in the works. There have been a few Harvest Hosts where properties were purchased and then transformed.  Creativity and entrepreneurship are commendable, and glad to see folks pursuing their dreams. The outside grounds have tables with covered umbrellas.  We were fortunate to be there on a night when they had a solo guitarist.  Listening to music, enjoying charcuterie, and spending time with my honey.  A girl can’t ask for anything more. Actually, she can. 

Across the road from the farmstead, there was an apple orchard.  The trees were blooming with beautiful white flowers.  Harvesting would happen around the August-September time frame.  Bummer we won’t be around to enjoy fresh-picked apples.  On the bright side, they sold ice cream!  We chose our flavor and then sat outside on Adirondack rocking chairs overlooking the orchard—a great way to end the evening.

We wanted to find out what time the sun rose so we could set our alarm clocks.  We knew it would be amazing and didn’t want to miss it.  Alarms were set for 5:00 am.  Sunrise 5:20. We were up before the alarm, dressed, and walked outside to see God’s glory.  Below is welcoming the day.

Not what we were expecting, but, on the bright side, we got an early start on our five-hour trip to Maine.
