You'll find Gathering Winds Farm & Orchard just outside Poland, in the farm country of Androscoggin County, Maine. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.
From Poland center, 315 Poland Corner Road is a short drive on county roads. Weekend traffic can back up near the entrance on peak fall Saturdays, arriving before 11 a.m. usually skips the wait.
Nearby you'll find the kind of scenery Maine does well in October, farm stands, rural churches, and roads lined with maples turning red. It's a solid half-day out even without leaving Poland.
