EPISODE 6: Made in Maine:  Maine has a vibrant makers and artist community. In this episode we celebrate some of the unique people in the maker and food space. 

• Tammy Knight from Maine Made shares her enthusiasm for supporting makers through this online community for Maine-certified retailers to share their goods under one (virtual) roof. We have hosted several makers and artists on our Maine Made segment on the TV show, and they are truly some of the kindest people we get to work with. 

• Heather Kerner, founder of The Good Crust takes us on a tour of her Skowhegan bakery, where the team produces (delicious, really)  handmade, frozen pizza dough from stone-milled Maine grains. And you can feel extra good supporting them because their mission is to also provide good paying jobs for Mainers with unique needs. 

• Matt Groff and Weston Shepherd from Mast Landing Brewing join us from their Freeport tasting room to spotlight their new beer, Otter’s Daughter, which is a kelp beer that was made in collaboration with Akua. They also share some behind-the-scenes stories into how they create their beer.  Watch our TV episode here where we visit the kelp farm with Akua and Mast Landing and learn more about their mission to make seaweed a staple in sustainable eating (and drinking).
