Our Lifestyle

Nestled between the North Maine Woods and the Canadian border, Aroostook County provides access to some of the most scenic drives in Maine, where residents can enjoy the stunning landscapes of dense forests, rolling hills, and expansive farmlands. This remote region is also home to small Amish communities in Maine, where traditional farming methods and a slower pace of life are cherished. Many people who choose to live in Northern Maine embrace homesteading, cultivating their own food and living off the land, surrounded by nature’s tranquility. Whether you’re drawn to the quiet beauty of the North Maine Woods, the simple life in Amish communities, or the freedom of homesteading, Aroostook County offers a lifestyle that celebrates independence, community, and a connection to the land.
