Kate Spardello
Website:  Eve’s Garden
Our products comprise freeze-dried items, including candies, fruits, vegetables, proteins, homemade baked goods, and a variety of other items made specifically for the Machias Blueberry Festival.  We are a licensed and insured commercial kitchen.  We are also a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Kingfield, Maine.  Our mission is to ease food insecurity that arises from unaffordability of healthy foods, inability to prepare healthy meals at home, and food waste.  We provide healthy homemade foods to individuals and families in Franklin County, Maine who require assistance with respect to accessing such meals.  All meals are delivered completely free of charge.  If there are meals left over, we freeze the meals and then, if those frozen meals are not used within a set amount of time, we freeze-dry them, making the meals shelf stable for more than twenty-five years.  In this manner, we fight food insecurity at both ends of the food spectrum, from access to preservation.  Our fundraising efforts take us to fairs and festivals throughout Maine, from Portland to Presque Isle, from Belfast to Bangor, and from Auburn to Oakland.  When we attend events that take us outside of Franklin County, we select one or two non-profit organizations local to the event and make donations to those organizations after the event ends.  It is our idea that “Maine is a small town,” and we appreciate the network of organizations in Maine that support our far-flung communities across the State.

Whether visiting an animal shelter, camping, hosting a dance-off, or filming a movie—they’re learning to take risks, trust their gut, and team up with others for good.  The secret sauce holding it all together? Joy.  Forever friendship is a powerful thing. It’s what gives Girl Scouts the confidence to be themselves, unapologetically. It’s what makes them feel safe enough to try new things and cheer each other on in tough times. It’s the support that can get them up on tough mornings, help them raise their hand in class, and even climb to the top of a mountain.
