- I make non-traditional humous and a hearty and very seedy bread for sale. Now that I've been using a kitchen in Lisbon Falls, I've come up against some limitations: I make the bread by hand and can produce only 18 loaves of bread per day. A kitchen with one of those big mixers and a bread slicer would really help increase my productivity. Ingredients for the bread come from as nearby as possible, e.g. organic Maine grown wheat, etc. The humous is a bit of a problem because the ingredients are a bit more 'exotic', e.g. chick peas, garlic, cilantro, basil, lemons, tahini, etc.
I need some cheap ideas because my savings are dwindling and I still have the license fee, insurance and kitchen rental to pay for. Thanks

Hi Gail,
In response to your question: "Some of your markets open in May! Can you tell me just what you have for sale at such an early date? Thanks!", there are several things to consider. One is that many growers now have greenhouses or hoophouses…

That would be great! We're still in the early stages of planning, but it's good to have options and Milbridge is a community we would like to work with. Thanks!
