Harvest Maine

Experience the fairs, feasts and foliage that herald harvest time in the Pine Tree State. Autumn traditions and flavors come alive in this nostalgic journey through New England's favorite season. Nature lore follows the ways of moose and bear and the great fall migrations of hawks and Monarch butterflies. Old-time fairs still feature horse-pulling, handcrafts and pie-baking contests. Apples, pumpkins and potatoes offer a delectable bounty for the table. Classic recipes for Indian pudding, apple pie, baked beans and brown bread round out this harvest-time sampler. Author Crystal Ward Kent serves up a slice of Maine at its finest.
