Voted "Best Everything Place" by Yankee Magazine. Smaller whimsical sculptures charm visitors of all ages. Oh. . . and a Grail Castle and wizard’s tower, too.

Idyllic island setting offers jam/chutney hand-made on-site, found object sculptures from birdies to whole buildings--acres of exploring; and a classy gift shop. NERVOUS NELLIE’S JAMS AND JELLIES are all made in a tiny white clapboard Jelly Kitchen--far off on the edge of things--in an idyllic island setting. We cook, cap and label hundreds of jars by hand most every weekday, using a small batch p

rocess that makes the flavor sing! Fifteen flavors of jam, chutney and marmalade, made the old-fashioned way with mostly Maine fruit, cane sugar and no nasty stuff. From May to October our Shop is where you will find not only jam, but also mostly Maine-made goodies - aprons, potholders, towels, mixes, softies, baby bibs and rattles, cribbage boards, soap, glassware and pottery. There is a sandbox for little ones, Adirondack chairs for old ones, checker boards for play, and woods and meadows to explore. Nellieville is a found object sculpture village built and furnished by sculptor Peter Beerits: a Western town, juke joint, general store, blacksmith shop, good ol’ boy garage and a church. Peter sells dozens of sculptures every year, from little birdies to giant ogres, as well as an eclectic assortment of commissions. We ship jam, and the dozens of Maine crafts found in our shop, all over the US and package gifts for any occasion. Our holiday gift boxes are tied with a red and white gingham ribbon. Shop and Grounds will open to visitors on Tuesday - Saturday, 11 am - 5 pm. Shop online (www.nervousnellies.com), call us at 800-777-6845, or email [email protected].

As one Nellie elf commented, "Let's be honest here, these are much nicer than your typical bandana!" And we've added some new ones this year!

These bandanas are hand screen-printed with eco-friendly, water-based inks on 100% premium cotton making them super soft and comfy. Add some pizzazz to any outfit, give your favorite pup a little pop, or as one customer who happily walked out of our shop - tie up your hair!

Seriously anything goes with these modern bandanas with a vintage vibe!

As always the shop is filled with all your favorites including jams and jellies, pottery, housewares, and yummy edibles all made in Maine. Come see us!

Shop and grounds are open Tuesday - Saturday 11am - 5pm

Have a Dad that's a little hard to buy for?

We created this gift box for guys who like to cook (and eat)!

The Fire & Smoke spice blend is hot and smokey and perfect on meats, fish, or dusted across potato salad, deviled eggs or even corn on the cob.

Northwest Meat Rub has an earthy smokey flavor best enjoyed on your favorite cut of beef, pork, game meats, or chicken (perfect for grill).

Ray's Mustard, ground on the last remaining stone ground mustard mill in N. America, will add a bit of zest to a sandwich and a jar of our Hot Tomato Chutney adds some pizzaz to burgers, meatloaf, omelets, and crackers and cheese.

We've added an Almond & Sea Salt Chocolate Bark from Ragged Coast for a little sweet to top off a great meal.
