Check out their web site: www.littletongristmill.com Beautiful mill built in 1797, still grinding flour. Self-guided tour with a helpful docent at the cash register. Has a wonderful small town feel. The older woman tending the mill the day we visited was also doing a TV interview. She was embarassed that she didn't make herself up prettier for her unexpected moment of local news fame! Bought a small bag of rye flour...yum! Definitely worth a stop! Plus it's free.

They were also out or light on many of their products for sale, but I was still able to pick up some oatmeal and popcorn, each $4.99 for a large bag. My mom bought several of their flours and granola. I'm giving mine as gifts, so I won't be able to try it. They also see a lot of local sodas and other items besides the ones they make in their mill. They better bulk up before the holidays though! Littleton is a really cute little town, and this mill is definitely worth a stop.

If you're not from Maine, but love Maine specialty foods... this place is for you! It's basically a…read morecurated shop of all of our best locally produced jarred foods and more. Stonewall Kitchens (York), Flo's (Cape Neddick), Above the Dam (Dayton), Kennebunkport Sauce Co. (KPort), Jack's Gourmet (North Monmouth), Captain Mowatt's (Portland)... you'll find 'em all here. There's also the infamous wall of hot sauce. We spent quite a while reading through some of the names, which included: - Ass Blaster - Colon Blow - Butt Pucker - Satan's Blood - I Am Sofa King Stew Ped - Queen of Farts - See Dick Burn - See Jane On Fire - See Spot In Heat - Sir Fartalot Oh, yes. There was laughing. Absolutely stop here if you're in Kennebunkport to see this. Not just for the schoolyard giggles, but because there really were a plethora of options to choose from (it's only August [as I write this], but I'm already feeling the stocking stuffer inspiration!). There was even a hot sauce that looked just like water... I can only imagine this would cause me serious heartburn. And yet, I'm intrigued. The only thing that kind of bummed us out was that when we showed up at 5pm, the woman working the store was cleaning up all the tasting stations. When we asked her if we should leave because it looked like she was closing up for the day, she said no - she'd be open for several more hours - she just didn't want the tasting stations out anymore. Huge mistake. We are girls who like to shop and probably would have ended up purchasing goods (as a matter of fact, at one point I had banana ketchup [which, mark my words, I am buying for my dad for Christmas], chili lime sauce [by my favorite, Cholula], and onion jam [by Stonewall, of course] in my hand that I ended up putting away because of the icy exterior emanating from the woman working) if we had had the chance to try them.

They also seem to have some decent prices on cheeses. I was hoping to would have some fresh homemade Amish butter. I am still longing for the one I had in Pennsylvania several years ago.

I purchased some generic cheetos and meat patties. The patties were decent, I'd rate them 3/5. I lived in South Florida, so I had many delicious meat patties; nice to see some Jamaican eats in Maine! Overall, it's worth a visit for some unique grocery items.

We picked up fresh and to bring back. The woman here was friendly and very helpful. The peaches we're bringing home, and the corn we made on the grill. I mixed lime zest and butter, buttered the corn, and left the husk on to help keep the butter-lime on the ear. Only problem was I didn't have butchers twine, so didn't work out as well as planned, but came out great either way. Corn was delicious.
