Tickets

Event Description

Join us at the farm for a sauna experience like no other. Choose between our two saunas, which comfortably seat 4 people. Pricing is per session—not per person—so bring some friends and make it a group experience. Order oysters before, during, or after your session and relax into the salt, heat, and cool water. 

We recommend you bring a towel, slides or water shoes, and a water bottle. Snacks, beverages, and electrolytes are all available for purchase in our shop.

Please no BYOB. 

Pro Tips + Guidelines: 

Hydrate! We recommend drinking plenty of water before, during, and after your session.

Listen to your body. Our saunas average 190 degrees and it is important to step out every 10 minutes for a sip of water and a check in. If you experience lightheadedness, dizziness, or nausea, please exit the sauna until you regulate. We are a fan of the Nordic cycle, which encourages a blend of heatingin the dry sauna for up to 10 minutes, stepping out into the chill air for a rest, and dipping into the cool river water. And repeat! 

A note on our location: We are a working farm during the week, beginning before dawn and finishing around 3pm. During these hours, please be aware there may be others sharing the space, boats leaving and docking, and heavy farm equipment in use. We ask that you be mindful and respectful. The farm does not operate on the weekends expect during holiday harvests. 

Safety: We recommend you bring slides or water shoes with good grip during snow/ice/wet days especially, as the ramp to the dock can be slippery. Please also note the gaps between the docks are perfectly foot size! Mind the gap, if you will. 

Weather: Most of us are not strangers to Maine weather! However, even the most seasoned of us should be mindful that River Rd is often plowed later, and can be quite slippery. We announce as early as possible if we are to close due to unsafe weather conditions. We recommend giving yourself a little extra travel time during the winter months. Slow and steady is always best. 

Parking: Please do not drive your vehicle down to the saunas unless a previous arrangement has been made with your host/management. When you arrive, please check in with your host inside the barn doors. There, you may fill water bottles, place any orders, and change (if using our Jack Point sauna, you will not have a private changing room). 

Timing: We recommend you arrive 10 minutes before your session to ensure you have plenty of time to check in and get settled. Sessions are 90 minutes. If you prefer, our host will give you a 10 minute warning. The host will be ready right at the end of your session to stoke the fire and clean for the next guests. If there is only one host working, please note they will turn over your sauna immediately, so if you have anything you would like to order, please get cozy and they will assist you as soon as they're back. Let us know if you will be more than 10 minutes late to your session. 

After your session: We offer our own Glidden Point oysters all sauna season, which can be ordered before, during, or after your session. We also have a lovely selection of both N/A and alcoholic beverages, and ask that you do not bring your own. We have rotating tinned fish and cheese plates as well. We welcome you to relax, chat, snack, and replenish your electrolytes with us after your session. 

Medical considerations: Ask your doctuor before visiting our sauna if you have heart problems, high blood pressure, respiratory issues, or any underlying health conditions. Pregnant individuals and the elderly should use the sauna with extreme caution only after consulting their healthcare professional. If you require assistance, our sauna hosts provide walkie-talkies.

Thank you! See you on the farm :)
