Best bet is to call us ahead. The weather has been terrible. I will be going out as soon as we can. We like to go on Thursdays or Fridays so we have product all weekend. Check in with Dan Chadbourne on Thursday night at 207-423-2755. I have class on…

I just read the article in today's PPH about Craig Pendleton giving up fishing. What a shame. And I was amazed to read again in the article that the market for Maine shrimp just isn't there. My wife and I eat Maine shrimp twice a week every week dur…

Picked up 15 pound from Chaddy on Friday - dropped two 5lb bags at a couple restaurants in Portland, and spent the weekend eating the other bag - really amazingly good, man. I'll see if the restaurants want to order some poundage from the next trip - Friday again? Let me know. Great seeing Dan again after all these years - hope to meet you too soon

Hi Craig,
How's the shrimp running?
May I have your permission to post those photos of shrimp harvesting on your vessel on a food website called www.egullet.org? I have been promoting Maine shrimp on a national basis for four years there, and I've always wanted a shot or two of an actual harvester, and your pics kick ass. Let me know,

PS: I'm up for buying some off the boat if you are still at it. If you can, write to:

Hi Craig... at this point I think we'd be looking for something like 50-60 pounds of shrimp. And it would probably be most convenient to get it after Christmas week. Have you set a price? What's the best way to proceed?
My co-op would probably be interested in buying shrimp when you have it and perhaps other fish from time to time. Will you be posting prices and availability?
Looking forward to seeing everything once you finish writing; let me know what I can do to help with the CSF. My first call of the day yesterday morning was from a man who is wildly excited to have the opportunity to drive in from Washington each week for shares from one of the Rockland CSFs. It will be great to see your CSF up and running; there is so much demand for fresh beautiful local fish!
Speaking of, may I use your fish recipe from the Fresh Locally Caught Fish blog for the Rockland CSF newsletters? (Properly credited, of course!)
Hmmm... I think a Libby tipped you off... though there is definitely the chance that the master knows everything! As you rightly suggest, I'm off to do non-work stuff. Enjoy your weekend!
I don't see too much posted here recently. Anyone have batches currently going? I'm looking to start a pyment in the near future in addition to some serious bottling. It's been a lazy winter and the carboys are stacking up. Definately time to start…

Hi everyone,
We are starting a rather large community garden at Opportunity Farm in New Gloucester. Any and all volunteers are most welcome as well as any tips. Half the garden will go towards the Plant-A-Row program and our local 'veggie connectio…
You could have a fundraiser. I had a dinner to raise money to buy seeds for our plant a row program that goes to the 'veggie connection' at our local pantry. All the food was donated for the beef stew, cole slaw, baked beans, pies, bread you name. I…
