Did you know that there are 149,644 small businesses in Maine?

As a local company (locally owned, operated and managed) we would like to take the time to tell you how much we truly appreciate your decision to do business with us and to keep your food purchases local! As a small business we pride ourselves on providing the best possible service for our customers, and are constantly working to bring you quality products, always at great prices, to help make your decision to buy locally an easy one.

As a Maine-based company we pay Maine taxes, register our fleet of trucks in-state, participate in local charitable causes and educate our kids in local schools. Yes, our 70+ “Native Mainers” live in our state, enjoy dining at Maine restaurants and using local services when we are not working hard to provide you the best service possible. According to the recent David Hench article in the Portland Press Herald, for every $100 spent at a locally-owned business $58 goes back into the community and our tax base. For every $100 spent with an out-of-state business only $33 comes back! Once you consider these simple facts, the decision to keep your hard earned money here in Maine just makes sense.

At Native Maine we pride ourselves on being able to offer an unrivaled delivery schedule, top-quality products, vast selection and great prices. The simple choice to keep it local will go far in fostering our Maine economy, and if more local businesses insist on working together we can keep our revenue circle right here in Maine. Let’s not send our Maine dollars out-of-state! Please try to encourage your friends and neighbors to support Maine owned and operated companies, and thanks again for keeping it local.
