Maine does a lot of things right. Farms, nature trails, mountains, beaches and pie! In addition to that, we also have some of the most fun wacky attractions and oddities. The one we’re sharing with you today is certainly one of the most unique, but it also happens to be one of the most delicious. Of all the farms in Maine, this one takes the cake…err, pie!
