Lavender Pickin Train to SeaLyon Farm

Experience a picture-perfect summer in Midcoast Maine.

Board your train at Sheepscot station for a steam-powered ride through the wild pine forests, farmlands and hamlets of the Sheepscot Valley to Top of Mountain where you’ll hop a short wagon ride to complete your journey to Alna’s famous lavender farm.

At SeaLyon Farm, pick your own lavender; peruse a plethora of lavender-themed goods; dine on farm fresh food from selected local vendors; enjoy some Maine-made beer and cider from Six River Cider; take a horse-drawn wagon ride around the farm; and partake in other fun activities.

Afterwards, we’ll ride the steam train to Sheepscot station via an extended tour of the railway to Trout Brook Preserve. Back at Sheepscot, you’ll want to explore our railyard, examine our displays, and peruse our gift shop. The entire experience takes just over 3 hours.

Ticket price includes all transportation (historic steam train and tractor/horse wagon ride) as well as parking at Sheepscot. Lavender stalks, food, refreshments, and other farm products are sold separately by SeaLyon Farm and their partners. Note that due to the nature of this event, wheelchairs can not be accommodated.

There will be an approximately 90 minute layover to pick lavender, enjoy the farm, and get a bite to eat before the narrow gauge train returns you to Sheepscot station. We look forward to seeing you on the narrow gauge!
