Winter Harbor Lobster Fest
I'm currently at my booth at the Winter Harbor Lobster Festival and we have wi-fi! I figured I'd toss a note out the blogosphere because I can :)
This past week was an insanely great week for us, as the Bangor Daily News featured Barkwheats in the Business section of their Saturday paper a week ago. The business that ensued was remarkable! 14 hour days were the norm since last Saturday and by last night, I was totally wiped out. This new Janssen machine can't get here quick enough, that's for sure. Last night as I was bagging up the last biscuits, I thought....if that Janssen was here, I would've been done with all of these in a couple hours' time. Unreal. Just a couple weeks to go before that beautiful piece lands on my doorstep!!
Till next time....happy lobsterin'.

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!
