I've driven by this place dozens of times and finally stopped in out of curiosity. I was impressed by the well-organized, intriguing shops with goods that ranged from upscale clothing to jewelry, art to antiques, bath and beauty products, garden products, lamps, bric-a-brac, gifts, consignment items, and on and on. Things are very reasonably priced, considering that it's all good quality. The personnel here are friendly and very helpful. It's a great place to shop or browse!

Bell Farm Shops is a gift shop experience. When you pull into the parking lot, you are greeted by gorgeous perennial gardens and a big red barn. When you make your way inside you will then be greeted with smiling faces ready to help you! As you begin to explore, you will see that there are mini environments and stories within the store. We like to stage areas to show you how our products will actually look in a real life setting. We carry locally made product, and have blurbs around the store telling you more about the "makers". As you walk through the store the merchandise will transition from gifts and home decor into garden decor and then into wild bird supply. Our staff is knowledgable and can help you with any backyard bird supply questions. We then have an upstairs filled with more gifts and home decor, and additionally we have a pet and bridal section! After your visit to the shop take a stroll back to our back grounds, it is worth the walk!

1. Have ordered from Stonewall Kitchen on line for years, mentioned to a friend that we were headed to Kennebunkport for a long weekend and he told me about SK in York ME. So much fun choosing all kinds of things and taste testing as well. Lots of great Fall (and Christmas) goodies. One heavy bag and done! 2. The campus is beautiful, the landscaping is extraordinary. What a joy it was just to look around. Inside and out. 3. LUNCH....at the SK Café. Lobster BLT on Brioche. Holy Lobster Batman....it was delicious. The café is a bit chaotic and very busy, but we did not wait long and it was worth every minute. Served with chips and a very crunchy tasty dill pickle...it started out food weekend off on the right foot. 4. Checked out the cooking class kitchen and production area - all very interesting. Worth the stop x10!
