Food is a Way of Life in Downeast Acadia
Sit and talk about the day ahead over coffee roasted in small batches. Cafés and family run diners
serve up slabs of bacon, farm fresh eggs, and wild blueberry muffins slathered with local butter.
Experience a classic general store in towns like Brooklin, Machias, Sullivan, and Columbia Falls.
Take a drive and stop to sample the cheeses from a seventh-generation creamery. Be enticed by
the scent of brick oven pizza and freshly baked boule all hot and crusty. In August, keep an eye
out for the many roadside stands selling fresh-picked wild Maine blueberries to snack on
or mix into pancakes next morning at camp.
