Who
We are Craft Drink Makers and Growers
and other Mainers who love our state, our wild blueberries, and the local craft drinks culture.
Why
Bubbly, Pure Wild Blueberry Craft Drinks
will be an iconic part of Maine's food and drinks culture–along with the great local ciders, wild beers, mead, and other "alternative" drinks that are part of Maine culture today.
...
Natural, Native, and Sustainable -
these wild blue drinks offer a value-added future for wild blueberry farming families who struggle to compete in the global market.
How
We can build a Maine wild blueberry wine industry
based on best practices from the worlds of alternative drinks like natural wine, craft cider, wild beers and others.
...
What's Needed:
a critical mass of producers, suppliers, distributors and services needed to support the growth of an industry at scale.
Where
The Barrens of Mid-Coast and Downeast Maine
are the great wild blueberry producing lands of the State, yielding incredible fruit of varied character.
...
The Greater Portland area,
with its superlative food and drink reputation, remains the market anchor.
When
The Maine Wild Blueberry Wine Industry
is growing and now is the time to build infrastructure, export out of state, and spread the word in ways that can grow into a multi-million dollar market over the next ten years.
