🌱 Happy Chinese New Year! 🐉 Year of the Snake
Pea shoots aren`t just delicious; they symbolize growth, prosperity, and the arrival of spring. 🌿 This vibrant green vegetable is a must-have during the Lunar New Year, adding a touch of luck to every meal. 🍀
Our Pea Shoot greens are fresh, sweet and tender. Great for soups, risotto, stir fry, avocado toast, sauteed with lemon and garlic. They are also incredibly nutritious with 10% more protein than a serving of peas, as well as 7x the amount of vitamin K and nearly 2x the amount of calcium!

“The sea was angry today my friends”
The annual Maine Lobster Dip on January 1st was maybe not a “swimming” success but a success nonetheless. Although the dip was canceled, folks gathered by the sea shore for a big party and helped raise thousands of dollars for Special Olympics Maine. Thank you to everyone on our team, donated, showed up and participated with us. We will be soaking our bones in the cool ocean come Summer time.
