Why the County

Farming from the border to the woods

The Aroostook River runs through farmland that has fed the Northeast for generations. The County is known for potatoes, fiddleheads, ployes, and long drives through open country.

Use the guides to explore one town at a time, find a meal, or plan a day outside.
