North by East
Rockport’s Shotwell Drive-In is a new beacon for film buffs. MOFGA has been a beacon for organic growers for 50 years. Plus, ultra-athlete Katie Spotz runs and bikes across Maine while, in Maine Dispatches, Yo-Yo Ma plays Acadia.
Food and Drink
It’s time for tea at SMCC, time for the Garrison to reopen in Yarmouth, time to explore the Maine Oyster Trail, and time to order Little Brother dumplings.
Good Things from Maine
The storied Liberty Graphics screen-printers go employee-owned. Artisanal soaps and creams go au naturel. Maine clothiers go for a runway walk.
Maine Homes
A glamp camp in the Bethel woods, a Norway garden with a rosy view, and a York hotel steeped in Maine surfing lore.
