An Animal Powered Certified Organic Family-Operated "Forever Farm"

Sleigh Rides
Winterberry Farm is a horse and oxen powered farm. In the winter months, when snow has fallen and left a packed gliding surface, we hitch up our pair of Haflinger horses, Nestor and Ginger and offer sleigh rides to the public in authentic old fashioned sleighs built in the 1870’s Our sleigh rides take you on an adventure into our lower fields, following a perimeter around the farm.
Our winter sleigh ride experience is to our “Maine’s Ultimate Comfort” sleigh ride, a two hour experience that includes a farm tour, warm toasty fire a pot of soup is available & you can keep returning too! Ice skate on our groomed rink and sled on our gentle groomed hill. We welcome your help harnessing up the team, if you are interested in being “hands-on.”
Please call ahead as we do book up fast once it starts snowing, 207-649-3331. You are able to book on line on our online store: Our season starts right around Christmas and goes through until the last pile of snow melts. Give us a call today!
The Sleigh Ride Experience
