This weekend invites us to be thoughtful of, grateful for, and engaged with friends, family, neighbors, and strangers who have served our great and ever-evolving democratic experiment. I’m grateful for what their work has afforded us, and I celebrate the many who have gone on to serve our communities in so many ways after their...
This week we incorporate a new element to the Farm & Fish experience. The monkfish is relatively easy, a lower price, and will be on the menu for the foreseeable future (will learn/pivot based on popularity and customer feedback/reactions). The idea is that there’s an option that doesn’t change, that customers can count on, and...
Maine is a state of helpers, healers, supporters, connectors, listeners… it’s filled with super people with super powers. E.B. White asserted that he would rather feel bad in Maine than feel good anywhere else. This week has been a real test, and while it’s inconceivable that something so abhorrent could happen here (I know, it’s...
Another week brings another Farm & Fish Friday. This week’s menu is flush with hearty meaty options, and still has room for some delicious vegetarian options. Don’t forget that Farm & Fish is available through three FarmDrop Market Hubs now: Blue Hill (with pickups and home delivery available in Belfast/Northport, Brooksville, Brooklin, Castine, Blue...
Sooo, it’s Friday the 13th. As Michael Scott once claimed, “I’m not superstitious, I’m a little-titious.” So far, this Friday the 13th has been smooth sailing, but even a little-stitious person would know I just jinxed it. Don’t forget that Farm & Fish is available through three FarmDrop Market Hubs now: Blue Hill (with pickups...
This week brought more visibility to Farm & Fish – this time through your television sets (or more likely, your phone and computer screens). Many thanks to WFVX and WABI for coming to check out our operations, hear about why Farm & Fish exists, and showing y’all what we’re up to. To see WABI’s story...
It’s fall! This week is bringing warmer hues to the trees – and also some hazy crazy sunsets due to the wildfires to our North. This week also brought some welcome publicity. Did you see the blurb in The Ellsworth American? I didn’t. I learned about it after a friend mentioned it over coffee; no...
Fall is tomorrow! (I say this with the same excitement Monica had on her wedding day – apologies if that reference doesn’t land for everyone) For many, that’s sad news of the end of summer. For me, it’s the dawn of the most comfortable/comforting season and the earthy smell of leaves. This weekend also welcomes...
Well the wind is blowin’ harder now Fifty knots or there abouts There’s white caps on the ocean And I’m watchin’ for water spouts It’s time to close the shutters It’s time to go inside In a week we’ll be past good ‘ol Lee Hell ’round here it’s taken all in stride. – JB (with...
This morning was one of those mornings where I got extra excited about Farm & Fish and the role it can play in the Maine food world. A friend and I drove over to Newport to pick up some feta from Abraham’s Goat Farm & Creamery and loved every second. The farm stand is well...
