Yes, I do.
i have hunted (for food not sport) since i have been able to hold a bow. It is a long tradition in our family. In many ways we see it as not only a way to obtain local meet, but to move back into a life style that is more in sync with the rhythm o...
I'm diving into the often controversial topic of hunting and looking at how this can be a legitimate source of local meat. I plan to write a column exploring the subject for the Press Herald. I’m looking for Mainers who hunt as a way to source loc...

Marsha Dawson said… - Avery, hi,
The Portland kitchen is rather expensive. I went to Pineland Farms and the previous mgr dismissed me out of hand. The next mgr was better but his su-perior said that couldn't happen at this time . . . ? The best comm kitchen so far for price and equipment, e.g. ovens, is the one at Unity. It's just $50/day and that day runs from 4A-11P! Problem is I'd need to be living there to make it feasible.
Oh, and the one at Dragonfly Cove Farm is too expensive too.
Enjoy the season, Marsha

- Hi Avery,
Yep, I am looking for something closer. I had a look at the Portland one--"ask for the 'cheese-lady'" I was told. AND, funnily enough, I went to Pineland Farms Market yesterday with some samples of my humous (however it's spelled) and bread. They know I'm looking for a commercial kitchen but didn't say anything. Either, it didn't occur to them or their kitchen is too busy. Please don't let all this negativity put you off. Your suggestions could have been useful. In the meantime, I'm going to Dragonfly Cove FArm, Marge Kilkenny's place, to see her kitchen.
Thanks, Marsha
