CEI/Focus Maine Tastemakers Investor Tour Kicks Off At Maine Crisp

Waterville, ME (October 27, 2018)  - On September 13-15 2018, investors from across New England gathered on a tour to visit Maine’s growing premium grain industry. The tour was designed to give grain-related food producers the opportunity to present business plans and growth strategy to investors and economic development professionals who could offer financial assistance. The series was created to expand opportunities for these innovative young companies to grow their networks and continue conversations with attendees about scalability and market expansion. 

 “As a young but fast growing specialty food company, our most important ingredient is naturally gluten-free buckwheat and that comes directly from a Northern Maine family farm. We are thrilled to tell the supply chain story and stress the need for support to these young companies. As we and others grow the market for specialty foods using Maine ingredients, the market for Maine agricultural producers will grow as well” said Steve Getz, co-founder and presenter at the event.
