August is the time when farms are busy harvesting the heat loving crops! Eggplant, sweet peppers and cherry tomatoes are a few that will make it into shares the week of 8/18. Check out the Extras section when you customize your share – we have one pound bags of basil if you're wanting to get pesto made and in the freezer to enjoy this winter, fresh OG Wild Maine blueberries are ready and available in pints and 5lb. boxes, IPM Corn from Fairwinds Farm, you'll find lots of good options for grilling, both veggies and meats, as well as cheeses, yogurt, bagels, coffee and more! Daybreak offers you the best of local Maine produce and products, all year long!

Update from Crooked Face Creamery
Crooked Face Creamery is excited to announce we just passed our third party food safety audit here at our new downtown location, this allows us to open up to new wholesale markets. The audit was a four year process and took a lot of time and focus.
We’ve created a few new products! Chocolate Ricotta Mousse (available for pre-order on our website) and marinated cheese curds. We’ve also been collaborating with other creameries to offer our customers additional products - herbed smoked butter in collaboration with Casco Bay Creamery, smoked over Applewood, Fresh Rosemary and Juniper Berries, also available for pre-order. Another collaboration we've started is smoked cheddar with Springdale Farm.
Our retail store in Skowhegan is open Thursday - Friday 10am - 2pm and Saturdays 9-1pm alongside the Skowhegan Farmers’ Market. You can shop our website here and order our products with your Farm Shares from Daybreak Growers Alliance!
We’ve really enjoyed meeting the Daybreak members that have visited our shop, it makes us so happy!
