"Maine Made 2013"

A Celebration of Maine Food, Maine Artisans and Maine Creativity

Rockport, Maine - "Maine Made 2013" showcases the variety and high quality of products that are made right here in our own state. The show’s fifty exhibitors will include Maine food producers, artisans, jewelry makers, wineries, and fine furniture makers among others. The show is the premiere resource for locally-made products in the mid-coast.

From chocolates and other sweet confections to jams, fine cheeses, and wholesome goods from family farms, the foods available at the show are unsurpassed. Handmade soaps, quilts, art, photography, and energy-efficient products for the home were on display and available for purchase at the show.

Part of the mission of Maine Made 2013 is to encourage people to shop locally. The one-day show is co-produced by the Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Maine Food Producers' Alliance. The State Department of Economic and Community Development is collaborating with producers and sponsors to promote Maine’s small businesses and make the event a success.
