Maine-made delicacies, from Atlantic Sea Farms Fermented Seaweed Salad to Maine Grains Pearled Black Barley, were well-represented in the 2021 Good Food Awards, announced in late January by the San Francisco-based Good Food Foundation in a virtual ceremony.
This year s winners, chosen out of 1,928 entries in a September blind tasting, included nine products from the Pine Tree State made by eight producers.
Saco-based kelp processor Atlantic Sea Farms, whose CEO Briana Warner was honored on the 2020 Mainebiz Next List, won two awards, the other for its Sea-Beet Kraut. We are so incredibly excited that, for the second year in a row, our company s products have been deemed super tasty, and hyper sustainable, by this prestigious organization, Warner told Mainebiz. We are on a mission to create delicious products that also help make our coast more resilient and this honor really helps us showcase our social mission and our products to a wider audience.
