Mon, 08/19/2019 - 4:00pm

UNITY— Walking through meadows of apple trees, and by clusters of wildflowers and sculptures, I entered the grounds of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association in Unity on Saturday, August 17 intent on one thing: drinking beer and eating bread. MOFGA’s first Bread and Brews Festival did not disappoint, drawing nearly 200 people from all over the state. I’ve been to many brew fests around the state, but this one felt small and intimate with 11 breweries in the main area of the Common...

Sadie Samuels’ new lobster shack opens in Belfast
Mon, 08/12/2019 - 9:30am

BELFAST— She works hard for the money, that’s for sure. Captain Sadie Samuels catches lobster all week on her own boat, FV Must Be Nice . The afternoon I’d stopped by her new lobster shack, located right on the Harbor Walk in Belfast, she’d already been up at 4 a.m. to go haul. “The bait guys were late this morning, like 5 a.m., so I got a late start,” she admitted. Yet, by 10 a.m., when most of America is only an hour into their work day, Sadie got off the boat, and headed for her...

Community gets to the heart of the Saint George River Cafe
Wed, 08/07/2019 - 5:00pm

WARREN – I didn’t really know what to expect when I walked into the Saint George Café at 310 Main Street, but what I found was a true gastronomical delight in a warm environment built and supported by the love of a community.

Gonzales worked as a psychotherapist and Davis worked for the school district...

Mon, 08/05/2019 - 8:30am

BELFAST—Was it a coincidence that the day I decided to check out The Only Doughnut, a new shop in Belfast, there was only one doughnut left?

Jaskold, who co-runs the business with Matt Wheeler, began making doughnuts from a commercial kitchen in Belfast and sold them at the United Belfast Farmer’s...
