Directions: FROM Interstate 95 --
Get off at Exit 174, and turn EAST on Route 69. Proceed east on 69 for approximately 6 miles. You will pass through two Stop signs on the way, the first at the intersection with Routes 9 & 202, the second at the intersection with Kennebec Road in Nealey's Corner. After the second stop sign, continue on 69 until you reach Monroe Road at Ellingwood Corner, and turn RIGHT on Monroe. (The intersection with Monroe Road is a four-way intersection, but without a stop sign on 69). Proceed on Monroe Road about 2 1/2 miles to North Road, and turn LEFT on North Road. (North Road is just beyond the crest of a hill and easily passed. When you see a 35 MPH Speed Limit sign on the right at the crest of hill, North Road is just beyond that sign - it is the only speed limit sign on this stretch of Monroe Road). Proceed 1 mile on North Road and turn RIGHT on Goshen Road. We are 0.6 miles down Goshen Road on the right. When you pass a small cemetary on the left with a white picket fence around it, we are at the top of the hill in front of you, on the right - a large, brown shingled house with a stone foundation. Look for the farm sign.

FROM Route 1A in Winterport --
Take Routes 69/139 West out of Winterport, at the Winterport furniture store, across from the Winterport on the Run store on Route 1A. Proceed 2.3 miles until Route 139 bears to the LEFT - stay on Route 139. Proceed on Route 139 about 2.3 miles, crossing railroad tracks, to Goshen Road and turn RIGHT. When you cross the RR tracks, it is 1.5 miles to Goshen Road. (Goshen Road is on a bend in Route 139 and easily passed - just beyond Goshen Road on Route 139 is a country store and Citgo station called Deb's Variety on the left. If you get to Deb's Variety, turn around and go back to Goshen Road about 50 to 100 yards behind you). Proceed on Goshen Road 1.5 miles until it intersects North Road. At this intersection, Goshen Road forks to the LEFT - North Road is straight ahead of you. Bear LEFT on Goshen Road. We are 0.6 miles down Goshen Road on the right. When you pass a small cemetary on the left with a white picket fence around it, we are at the top of the hill in front of you, on the right - a large, brown shingled house with a stone foundation. Look for the farm sign.
