“Our family had an incredible week at Blenheim Park! We swam off the deck, kayaked in the pond, played records, and fished from the shore. We sat by the fire, made s’mores, and listened to the loons. The houses were clean, comfortable, and beautifully appointed with everything we could need. Justin and Kerry were wonderful hosts with great local recommendations. They were responsive to our needs yet gave us total privacy. It was a trip we’ll remember for a lifetime. Pure magic!”
Cherry orchards
Fruit + flowers
Blenheim Park is home to Maine’s largest cherry orchard, featuring 200 dwarf sour cherry trees, and 150 ornamental flowering cherry trees, also known as the beloved cherry blossom, which will put on a magnificent show every May.
Our mission has always been to create a place of beauty and respite from the worries of the world. A place to reflect on renewal, to take in the delicate fragrant beauty of blossoms and feel like a kid again enjoying the crimson, finger staining goodness of our sour cherries all year round.
We produce a range of sweetly scented cherry blossom infused bath and body products, bottled cocktail cherries in syrup, cherry blossom mignonette, perfect for our Damariscotta River oysters, cherry bitters and teas, as well as dried and pickled cherry blossoms.
The orchards are expected to produce 3 tons of fruit and blossoms annually from 2023.
While we are a family run working orchard, and not open daily to the public, the orchard is available for hourly rental to photographers and filmmakers, and we plan to host special events throughout the year.

Long live lILIBET
Long Live Lilibet™
When we think of cherries we think delicately scented cherry blossoms, crisp crimson, finger-staining tart cherries, lotions, potions, and delicious cherry treats, high in antioxidants and flush with spring through summer.
We’ve worked hard to develop an exciting range of Blenheim Park’s own signature goods under the label ‘Long Live Lilibet’ and offer a womderful selection of bath and body, and food and beverage goods in our Farm Store, which is open seasonally and by appointment. We can’t wait to welcome you to our beautiful part of the world.
Lilibet’s Crown™
Blenheim Park’s main crop is its Carmine Jewel cherries. The fruit from our 200 trees will become one of our signature products, the bottled ‘Lilibet’s Crown™’. These are not your grandmother’s Maraschino’s. Lilibet’s tart little jewels are soaked in rich cherry juice, sweetened with organic raw cane sugar and a truly fine addition to your afternoon libation, home baked pie or ice cream sundae.
Grown using 100% natural practices and high in antioxidants, they’re as good for your body as they are decadent.
