Stone Fox Creamery
We make homemade ice cream in our small plant in Monroe. Our ingredients are milk, cream and sugar (never high fructose corn syrup). Our flavorings and extracts are all natural and we use Maine grown fruit and maple syrup whenever possible. We offer about 16 flavors and add new ones seasonally.
Living Grains Bakery (Operated by a local Amish family)
Living Grains Bakery offers an array of products made from whole grains freshly ground on site. Katie Copp and her daughters, Lydia and Tabitha, bake three days a week, using an Amish-made Kitchen Queen wood cook-stove.
Living Grains Bakery’s product line includes e a selection of yeasted breads, sweet breads, granola, cookies and pies – all mixed by hand. Katie and Kenneth make deliberate decisions as to what kind of ingredients to include in their baked goods, as well as where to source them, based on personal values. The Copps raise a large organic garden and feed their layer hens and goats organic grain. They won’t include ingredients in their products that they wouldn’t feel good about consuming themselves.
The Copps purchase whole-wheat berries of ‘Golden 86,’ a white wheat cultivar grown in Montana, to grind and use in their products. If they mix in white flour, it is always unbleached and unbromated. They also opt to bake with organic evaporated cane juice over white sugar and choose coconut oil or butter over hydrogenated oils. Eggs come from their own hens. “We bake things to sell that promote healthful eating,” said Katie, who adds that she is surprised that her whole wheat bread sells better than the half-wheat loaf.Boy Scouts of America
