Welcome to Simplicity Farm & Mercantile!






Simplicity Farm & Mercantile is nestled on Blue Hill Mountain, along the beautiful &
picturesque coast of Downeast Maine.  Here, we enjoy the many simple pleasures
of country living from tending our vegetable gardens, to cutting & arranging fresh
flowers, and harvesting & cooking with the fruits from our trees.  We also raise
alpacas for their luxurious fiber to use in yarns, clothing, household goods and
gifts.  
Our herd currently consists of eight Huacaya alpacas, two of which are
award winning breeding females, who give birth to one newborn cria per year.  
We've always loved to be surrounded by old things from a simpler time and
enjoyed gardening and nature, but after we began raising alpacas we were
inspired to move to a more rural community and raise our family in a healthier
way.  Farming has made us more aware of our environment - the air we breath,
the food we eat and the land we live on.  We have learned to make better
choices for our own future and that of our planet's.        

We operate an old fashioned country store, or mercantile, at our farm.  It is our
hope to share the joys of country living with others through
Simple Living Goods.  
These are items one might use to enjoy a simple and pleasurable lifestyle while
focusing on the health and wellbeing of both themselves and our planet.  These
products are often handmade, natural, often organic, earth friendly, cruelty free,
socially responsible, and most importantly
simple  & useful.  Our mercantile
supports a world wide movement towards simplifying our lives and slowing down
the pace, so that we may all be a bit more present in the moment and aware of
life's simple pleasures.  It's about WHOLE living - nurturing each and every facet of
your life.     

In our mercantile, you will find things like natural fiber yarns (specializing in alpaca
of course) & knitting supplies; clothing & gifts made with alpaca fiber; all natural
soy candles, soaps & lotions; chemical free laundry & cleaning supplies; health and
therapeutic items; fresh local vegetables, flowers, eggs & seasonal items;  books
& magazines related to country life, sustainable living &  health; organic fair trade
coffees and herbal teas; locally made pottery and handcrafts; items made of
recycled and re-purposed material and some perfectly good second hand things.  
These are just a sampling of some of the interesting things you will find in our
little country mercantile.  We hope our back-to-basics products and ideas help
inspire you to create a life for yourself that is a bit more relaxing, a bit less hectic
and a bit more meaningful.

If you happen by and see the 'open' flag flying, step out of the fast lane, and into
our world of simplicity for just a few moments.  If you aren't local,

We look forward to meeting you!
