Fun fact: Thanks largely to tax breaks in the "One Big Beautiful Bill", Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Tesla got a $51 billion dollar windfall in 2025. They made $315 billion in profits in 2025, but paid just 4.9% of that in federal taxes instead of the full 21% federal corporate rate.

I’ve worked so hard to get Gneiss Spice off of Amazon, only to have to pay $$$ in Meta ads to survive. 🤮

Mainers don’t take kindly to outsiders telling us what to do. The Washington Post’s editorial attacking Maine’s new millionaire tax is no exception. Misdirected and devoid of facts, the editorial board got it wrong. It’s also notable that the opinion hails from a paper owned by an ultra-bill...

Found this video in the archives - just in time to prepare for Cinco de Mayo. 🥳 Homemade chipotle simple syrup turns your next mocha into a “smocha” (thank you for introducing us to this). Or, add a splash to your next old fashioned or margarita.

“Delicious vanilla paste! So simple and easy with your help.” —Susie

We love getting photos from your kitchen and seeing what delicious things you cook up! And I especially love that in this one I can see the dribble of vanilla paste down the front of the blender. 🤤

Any name you want! (Well, under 9 letters 😂)
Custom order headed out to Will in Texas. I want to know what goes in “THE BLEND” jar.

These cold snaps are just destroying our compostable packaging! 🙄 We’re experimenting with these recyclable glassine pouches (and paper sealing tape) to see if we can get through the last few weeks of winter with fewer breakages.

NOTE: Usually the home compostable pouch is the default, but you can always request the paper option all year for those folks that don’t compost.

Thanks for your understanding; we’re continually trying to balance durability vs minimal material use, while also avoiding plastic!

We’ll be closed tomorrow in recognition of National Shutdown Day.

This is a voluntary day of no work and no shopping, called to protest ICE enforcement actions and to stand in solidarity with immigrant communities. Here in Maine, these impacts are real and close to home — affecting families, schools, and small businesses in our food community.

Instead of spending money, donate to

Join us in supporting your neighbors. ICE OUT!!!

We like vanilla paste to be pourable! That way it incorporates when mixing with other ingredients. Tell us how your vanilla paste turned out 👇
