Although we’ve spent most of our time living in St. George and Rockland, we’re so lucky to have such great places in surrounding towns! Here are some places to check out in Camden and Rockport.
Bleecker & Greer
The “gourmet-est” food shop around! From fresh-baked bread and pastries to choice meats and fully made meals, they have provisions for every occasion (even if it’s just a weeknight dinner).
Fresh Off the Farm
This organic Maine grocery store on Route 1 in Rockport has been providing the area with fresh produce year-round since 1987! From fresh berries in the summer to homemade wreaths for the holiday season, you’ll find something wonderful every time you visit.

Can you beat the clock? Perfect for groups of friends or office events, Trapt offers unique and challenging escape rooms! Each room has a different theme and difficulty level, so there’s a perfect puzzle room for your group!
Waterfront Restaurant
With stunning views of Camden harbor, and some of the best clam chowder the Midcoast has to offer, the Waterfront is a can’t-miss stop! A Camden stable for over 45 years, all of their seafood is caught fresh by local fisherman (many of whom you may see traveling through the harbor while you’re dining).
