NEW - THE TECHNIVORM COFFEE BREWER IS HERE

 This is the only home brew equipment that gets the temperature and duration right. It is handmade and has a real copper coil that ensures the water leaves the spout within the narrow range between not extracting the essence of the coffee and burning it. It is no wonder home brewed coffee never tastes just right.

This exceptional thermal brewer sells for $265 and the glass carafe sells for $245.

Dried Wild Maine Blueberries
Our own wild blueberries are now even better than ever for you and your taste buds! After many years of hard work, we are now drying our berries only using fruit concentrates in the preservation process. With no sugar added, we feel the flavor and texture come as close as you can get to the fresh fruit. These dried wild blueberries have at least half the sugar content of most dried blueberries in the marketplace today.
