New Website Ready for Orders! New Maine products! Favorites!
|
Winter is over and we have been busy updating and refreshing our mail order website. Some of the changes you can expect are more Maine products, including Tartary Buckwheat, Einkorn Wheat, Maine Sea Salt, Cornmeal, Maine Popcorn, and of course our favorite cereals and baking mixes including New England Biscuit Mix, Captain Dave's Pancake Mix, and Islander's Choice 7 Grain Hot Cereal.

One change we will need YOUR help with: If you have an account with us (and many of you do!), you will need to set up a new password - your order history will all transfer to the new site, but in keeping with our privacy policy, you will need to set up your account password to access it. Thank you!
Our vision when we bought Fiddler's Green was to create a vibrant mailorder website to extend the reach of Maine foods and heritage throughout the US. Have ideas on how to help? Post them to our facebook page and like us while you're there! |

When I first moved up to the Saint John Valley as a 12 year old in 1995, Paul Dumais would stop by the farm once a year to pick raspberries and swap stories. Paul's great uncle owned the farm before we did (See the 'home farm': www.skylandiafarm.com). The Saint John Valley is full of Acadian tradition we had to know about to assimilate. Paul helped, as did many of our French Acadian neighbors.
This month's Saveur features the beloved Acadian Ployes made and grown in the northernmost reaches of Maine since the 1700's. Paul Dumais has been advocating for this rare heritage food and folks are listening! He recently won a Source Award for his work with local food and our Maine heritage Tartary Buckwheat. Yes, I nominated him!
As they say, one good turn deserves another and we are proud to offer buckwheat flour grown by the Dumais Family Farm (the original one!) in Frenchville, Maine. This story is full of connections within our community around buckwheat, our family farms, our oldest Maine families and our most recently arrived. Welcome to the story - it is ongoing! |
Maine is a place full of close knit communities, many of which revolve around seasonal food, fishing, and the land itself. I've immersed myself in coming to know it deeply...and am humbled by how much there is still to know.
I know Fiddler's has been quiet for a while, as Crown O'Maine and Northern Girl have grown and continue to. I look forward to bringing you a closer look at Maine foods through Fiddler's and hope to hear from you along the way.
Yours,
Marada Cook
Owner, along with a band of steadfast Maine food advocates
