Maine Gravy Sources
Maine Gravy Sources
Maine Gravy sauces would not exist without Maine Gravy sources: our local Maine farmers, food artisans, merchants and sea harvesters. Peppers don’t just happen. Garlic and ginger and turmeric don’t just happen. Miso doesn’t just happen. Vinegar doesn’t just happen. Spices don’t just happen. Kelp doesn’t just happen. Well, kelp does just happen, but I don’t want to jump into the cold Maine ocean to get it.
Plants grow from the ground. Makers ferment miso and vinegar in fermentation vessels. Spice purveyors source and import spices from trustable organic suppliers. Sea farmers and harvesters grow and process kelp from the ocean. There are people in Maine who do these things, and they need to sell the tasty and nutritious products of their labor at decent prices to support their families. We want to be part of that. We want to make things in Maine, with Mainers. This may not scale like a big corporation or venture capital firm would want it to. We don’t care about that type of scaling. We care about helping our neighbors, our communities, and our state be what they’re best at. And, we care about providing people with great sauces packed with flavor. Those two goals don’t need to be mutually exclusive.
These are our suppliers. We do not put anything into our bottles that does not come from these great people. Maine Gravy exists to support our suppliers, just as much as we exist to bring you great sauces to elevate the flavor of your food.
