In Maine, farm to table is not a trend, it’s a reality. Dine out or eat at home seafood is fresh from the sea, animal meats are from a nearby farm and veggies are homegrown. A great place to experience a farm to table dinner is at Point Lookout in Northport, Maine.
What used to be a softball field has been converted to gardens and greenhouses where seasonal produce provides most of the ingredients for the meal.
One greenhouse serves as a dining hall where long tables and mismatched chairs are set up for forty guests.
The table decor, candles and simple arrangements of flowers in bottles, is just my style.
All around the greenhouse are arrangements of herbs and vegetables that enhance the ambience.
A temporary kitchen facility is set up outside the greenhouse, so all the food is cooked right there and served immediately.
The menu features what is in season and no two are the same which makes eating there a real treat.
What is a constant is the hot out of the oven focaccia with roasted garlic. I could make a meal of just that!
With it comes a beautiful salad topped with an array of edible flowers.
The main course is a selection of meat and seafood. I am always a happy camper when lobster is on the menu.
Finishing the main course is a perfectly roasted combination of seasonal vegetables.
By the time dessert comes, there’s scarcely any room for it, but there are 40 smiling faces around the table!

A great example of farm to table. Check this out!
How very kind of you.
Beautiful! Maine is high on my bucket list so I will def have to mark this down as a place to eat!
Should you make the trip, the farm to table dinner is one time June-August.
Oh my goodness how amazing it all looks! I’d love to turn one of my greenhouses into a dining room for a day. You did a beautiful thing!
What a fantastic adventure, I would just love this place! Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and have a great week!

Looks like a perfect setting for a wholesome and tasty meal. You made my mouth water with the mention of the focaccia bread. 😍
I could make a meal of the focaccia and garlic!
Wow! What a cool idea! Somebody was REALLY thinking to convert that space and create a dining experience unlike any other! We here in the Midwest were big proponents of the farm to table reality before it became “chic”, too. When you live in a farming community, it just comes naturally! We don’t have anything so wonderful as lobster, of course (boo hoo!), but we can slam some fabulous beef down in a heartbeat! Where we live there are lots and lots of corn and soy fields, so corn is a staple. So wonderful that you are able to indulge in such a tasty joy!!!
I think you would totally enjoy this experience in every respect.
Oh how nice. I love every part of this setting and meal! Fun…
Dinner in a greenhouse is different!
What a wonderful and fun meal! That focaccia does look amazing, and the lobster, swoon!

Hopefully, you will get there.
I had no idea this was offered at Point Lookout. How wonderful. Love the menu and the decor. I know this was great fun.
Let’s go next year.
I loved the edible flowers in the dishes and the menu sounds delicious…….
The meal is a visual as well as a tasty treat!
Linda, this is my kind of place, wonderfully prepared and plated food that satisfies my foodie self. Thank you for sharing this amazing place.
You will have to plan a Maine visit to coincide.
