With five James Beard Award-winning
chefs and countless other talented
food artists in residence, it’s partly the
culinary scene awaiting you that
makes this part of Maine such a unique
experience. It’s also the freshest of
ingredients, including lobster and fish
right off the boat. And farm fresh
vegetables and herbs, bursting with
natural flavor. And let’s not forget to
toast the local breweries, wineries,
and distilleries whose craft beverages
often include Maine ingredients like
blueberries, raspberries, and potatoes.
Locally-made products are everywhere:
handcrafted cheese made from the
milk of Pineland Farms’ Holstein cows;
jams, sauces, and condiments by
specialty food prize-winners Stonewall
Kitchen and Vervacious; uniquely
flavored artisanal chocolates such as
Green Tea and Ginger and Malted
Bacon morsels from Sweet Marguerites.
Yum ME!
Maine has become known for more than just its postcard appeal
and is now attracting accolades from foodies in the know.
