Pack List
Before you visit us at Tops'l Farm, it's important to know what we provide and what you may want to bring with you.
You can always shoot us a note if you are unsure, but the list here should give you a good sense of it all.
Tips for Packing Clothing
Depending on the time of year, it is usually a safe bet to pack for a variety of temps in Maine. Layers baby layers! Fleece, comfy pants and of course, some slip on shoes/boots and fuzzy socks for around the fire. With the many lakes and beaches around a swimsuit and beach towel is also a good bet.
What About Food & Drinks?
Depending on the type of event you are visiting us for, our culinary experiences will vary. However you slice it, our food is some of the best on the Midcoast. We source right here from our own gardens whenever possible and support a variety of local farmers and fisheries to cover the rest. Our approach to food is simple, humble and nourishing food with as many connections to Maine as possible.
If you are here with a group for a wedding, retreat or corporate offsite, your host will share the details of the meals planned.
Beverage Note: We offer a variety of options during our events. Cash or credit card. You are welcome to purchase bottles at the bar to take to your lodging. You can also purchase wine & beer at the Camp Store when it is open.
Do I Pack Towels, Sheets, Soap, or Linens?
Campground: We've got you covered here. All of our cabins are super comfortable and outfitted with the standard stuff you would find available in a hotel room (bedding, pillows, towels, etc). The shower house has shampoo & conditioner, soap & rubber duckies.
Farmhouse/Cottage/Cider House: All linens, towels & toiletries are provided. We do not have beach towels so if you are planning to head to the beach, please bring these from home.
What About the Weather?
As we never can predict the weather or your comfort level with it, be sure to check the weather, and if it looks like it will be an especially chilly weekend, consider bringing an extra blanket, sleeping bag, an adventurous attitude, and whatever you might need to support your comfort level. There are heaters in the A-frames but the cabins are uninsulated and can get chilly!
Is There Anything Else I Should Pack?
Bring: Bug spray, headlamp or flashlight, snacks of choice, phone charger, water bottle (our water is potable), killer playlist, your charades A-game. Coolers are helpful for keeping things cold. Power for charging things is located in individual (lockable) cubbies in the bathhouse.
Expect: Noisy chipmunks, dirt, no-see-ums & good times. 30 year old sports equipment & quiet mornings. Fire pits with complimentary wood for one night and room to breathe. Lots of space to find yourself.
Remember: Pack your adventurous spirit! On the farm, all your needs will be met, but things might look a bit different here on the MidCoast. You’re escaping the rush of four-lane highways, the blare of city life, and those towering billboards. With that comes a shift in mindset—it's time to embrace the charm of rustic living, where the pace is slower and the beauty of simplicity shines through.
