Available for Bean Hole Beans Gathering: Digging Into Tradition • Jun 27, 2026.

This is a true Maine tradition and a rare opportunity to learn it firsthand the way Joe learned it from his dad when he was just a young boy. Together we'll dig the beanhole, build the fire, and prepare the beans before burying them in the earth to slow cook the old-fashioned way. While the fire burns down we'll make a fresh potato salad from scratch. Then we unearth a batch cooking underground since the day before. We'll gather around the fire to enjoy our beans alongside campfire roasted hot dogs and fresh potato salad, and finish the day with s'mores under the open sky. Space is limited to 6 guests. $75 per person. Saturday June 27th, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Please Note: Workshop tickets must be purchased in advance through our website in order to confirm your reservation. Cash option is not accepted for workshops. Tickets are non-refundable. The Bean Hole Gathering is an outdoor event. In the case of rain or severe weather, this event will be rescheduled to our rain date of Saturday, July 11th. registered guests will be contacted directly.

A Simple Life Homestead

"Returning simple living skills to the heart of the home."

Nestled on generational land in Northern Maine, A Simple Life Homestead is a working homestead where the old ways are still the everyday ways. We believe that the simple skills our ancestors knew as ordinary life are worth learning, worth teaching, and worth passing on. Through hands-on workshops, homestead experiences, and a life lived simply on purpose, we invite others to return to the rhythms that matter most, growing, preserving, baking, gathering, and finding deep contentment in the unhurried work of tending a home. #SimpleLifeMovement
