One hundred and twenty years ago, the son of a sea captain founded a business in his family’s smokehouse to produce mustard for Maine’s burgeoning sardine industry. Three years later the young entrepreneur moved the mustard mill to the location that it would reside at for the next century. Though Maine’s sardine canneries are only a memory, the historic mustard stone mills remain, and is now Raye's Mustard Historic Old Stone Mill Museum. Join us along Maker’s Way as we visit with Kevin and Karen Raye and their wonderful family business, now four generations strong.

✨Meet the Couple! 🥂
Congratulations to Amanda and Andy!

Amanda shares their story below:

Andy and I met while both living in Colorado. We shared a common friend, who was my downstairs neighbor when I lived in Chicago and became Andy's coworker when he moved out to Colorado. After knowing each other for a couple years and me finding out Andy was single I decided to tell our common friend about my crush on Andy. We both love nature and being active outside, whether it's hiking, backpacking, gardening, so we had a great time exploring in Colorado together. Even taking a 30-day road trip/backpacking trip through Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Washington, and California before moving out to Maine in August last year.

We are excited to celebrate with friends and family at our downtown Portland venue in the fall and show off the new beautiful state we live in.

Thank you Amanda & Andy for sharing your story and having us be part of your wedding! We are SO excited for you both!
