This Maine Food Shop Keeps A 126-Year-Old Stone-Ground Mustard Tradition Alive

Some of the stones grinding this mustard were shipped from France in 1900. They’re made of quartz, and they still do the work today. That’s the part that gets me. The whole process stays cold on purpose. Cold water from a 400-foot well keeps the seeds from losing their bold, sharp flavor. Most big brands skip that slow step entirely.

Taxidermy wearing hats. That is one of the things people have spotted inside this barn, and honestly, I need to know more about the hats. The building holds three full floors of old stuff. Rusty tools, creepy dolls, lobster buoys, vintage ski gear, and stacks of old National Geographic volumes all share the space with about fifty vendors.

Stephen Coston’s path to Innkeeper of the Year began in a motel basement, with a stack of CDs and a job many people outside the industry don’t think about.

BAR HARBOR — Before Stephen Coston was named Innkeeper of the Year, before the 13 properties and the renovations and the business accolades, before the recognition that comes with building something that lasts, there were a whole lot of cigarette butts. He wasn’t smoking them. The cigarette butts...

This Maine Yarn Shop Has Hundreds Of Choices You Won’t Find At Your Average Craft Store

More than 600 different yarns sit under one roof at this family-run shop. That number made me do a double take. Most big craft chains can’t come close. The shelves go well beyond the usual suspects. Malabrigo, Cascade, and Berroco share space with yarns spun and dyed right here in Maine. I like how local fiber farms get real shelf space next to the famous names.
