Rockland Show to Feature Finest Maine-Made Products

Posted
Last Updated

Maine is the least densely populated state in New England, and that claim to fame often makes it feel like one big community. Our state is also fortunate to host an abundance of artisans who produce high-quality, creative products. The Maine Made Program, founded by the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development, fosters this sense of community among hundreds of the state’s finest craftspeople. Together they share a common label: Maine Made – America’s Best. This special identity makes the quality of the products easily recognizable and distinctive.

The Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors Show is excited to have a new Maine Made-sponsored section of the show devoted exclusively to the program’s members. Products featured will be as diverse as Shaker boxes, smartphone docking stations, fine woolens and weavings, jewelry, food delicacies, glass art, pottery, garden products, fishing nets, furniture, custom paddleboards, and more. The creators will be right there on-site at the show to talk to about what they do.

Come see these exceptional goods and meet the makers at the 2014 Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors Show, August 8-10 on the waterfront in Rockland.
