Food and Farm Products Marketing

Visit our searchable pages for listings of apples, berries, specialty foods and other farm products, "pick your own" farms, farmers markets, farm stands, Maine Maple Sunday and maple syrup information, wholesale and commercial buyer information, community supported agriculture (CSA) farms, restaurants and recipes, and related marketing information links.

Working with a Portland advertising/marketing firm, and an Advisory Council of Maine producers, the Department launched the "umbrella" program with a high visibility Governor's kickoff in late July of 2000. This was followed by summer television ads and newspaper inserts throughout the state in the Spring and Fall. This promotion has generated an annual celebration, October Maine Menus Month, a friendly competition for restaurants who use Maine ingredients in their menu items, a retail Holiday Promotion which includes more television ads and features Maine food and farm products as gift items. Look for our brochures and exhibit at the Kittery and other Welcome Areas.

All the get real. get maine! promotional activities encourage greater consumption of Maine agricultural products, and highlight the abundance, appeal and value of Maine's food and agricultural products and producers. A digital version of the logo can be downloaded at this site. An order form for promotional items (including stickers, signage, hats, aprons and bumper stickers), can be obtained at this same link.
