From Route 1 north of Bucksport, take Route 15 through Blue Hill and Sedgwick, then across the suspension bridge to Deer Isle. You are crossing the Eggemoggin Reach, a passage well-known to yachtsmen. Follow Route 15 for 6 miles to a service station on the right. (If you have a dog with you, stop for gas---Rover will get a milk bone.) Here, take a left onto the Sunshine Road. Nervous Nellie's is 3 miles along on the left (bearing right at the fork after a mile or so). Just follow the signs. It's a very scenic drive.

Visitors are welcome to come inside the jelly kitchen and see where the jam is made. 300 jars are cooked and poured Monday through Thursday mornings. Come watch! The Mountainville Café serves coffee, tea and homemade scones (with jam, of course) everyday from May to October. A generous deck and wooden walkway link the kitchen with a tiny sales and sampling room, overlooking the apple orchard and meadow. Small children gravitate to the sandbox under the old apple tree, while parents settle into nearby Adirondack chairs, with a steaming mug of coffee.

If you're planning a trip to the area, we recommend the Deer Isle Chamber of Commerce Web Site as a resource for interesting places to see and things to do on our beautiful island.
