Blueberry Fields Bed and
Breakfast is a beautiful inn
located on over 120 acres of woods in the Town of Washington,
along Maine's Central Coast. Central
to the property is a 10-acre blueberry field that is cultivated
and well-kempt; The inn and cottage are on the edge of the
blueberry field. There is also a large sugar-maple grove
that we tap for maple sugaring in February and March. We've been asked if Maine maple syrup is as good as
Vermont maple syrup, and we say it's better because we don't
have to go to Vermont to get it!
There
are a few small brooks that pass through the property and are most
active from the autumn to early summer. On the eastern edge of
the property is a small marsh, where wild animals can often be
found.
We have trails through the woods that lead throughout the
property if you want to hike, cross-country ski or snowshoe.
There are plenty of critters that
frequent the property. Some of our most common visitors:
White-tailed deer.
They can be seen throughout the year, often near the apple
trees on the property.
Moose. There is at
least one local moose that has been seen by many.
Raccoons. We try to
keep the garbage out of their hands.
There are also dozens of
different bird species seen around the inn on the property over the course
of the year. We have bird feeders that keep the birds coming
back for food all year long. Some of the most striking birds
seen on the property:
Turkeys. Are
frequently seen strolling across the property.
Ruby-throated
hummingbird. These small birds frequent our hummingbird feeders. They are a wonder to watch.
Red-tailed hawk.
They love the fields in the area as mice and other small
varmints can be found.
Northern cardinal.
Maybe no bird is more striking in its color than the
beautiful, bright-red cardinal.
Blue jay. Almost
equally beautiful is the blue jay.
Chickadee. These
cute little birds visit all winter long.
Turkeys. Are
frequently seen strolling across the property.
