Founded in the spring of 2019, Maine Maple Creemee Co. is proud to become the first purveyor of creemees in Maine, offering a local, more wholesome alternative to soft-serve, borrowing a page from the rich Vermont tradition.
While making a few trips a year to Vermont with her band, Sibylline, Hannah Daman always made it a point to get a Maple Creemee. It was during that time she started to ask herself why Maine, with a similar abundance of maple, didn’t share in Vermont’s founded tradition.
Some may argue a Creemee is no different than soft serve and is only the Vermont colloquialism for the dairy treat. But the Green Mountain Staters know both their maple and their dairy and real Creemees are often richer and more full of good cream flavor than the powdered excuse for soft serve most purveyors now use.
Armed with this knowledge, and a drive to start her own small business, Hannah began the adventure now called Maine Maple Creemee Co.
The base Creemee Mix comes from the family owned and operated Kingdom Creamery in Hardwick, VT. The dairy farm across the road has also been owned and operated by the Michaud family for three generations. Their recent expansion to a creamery has been a creative way to diversify and ensure their milk gets used in quality products.
The Maple I use comes from Saphound Maple in Brownfield, ME where I get to help out in the winter and early spring.
The last few years my dear friend and owner of XO Bakery has been making my gluten-free cones using local ingredients.
Flower bouquets are sourced either from my own backyard or from Goranson Farm in Dresden, ME.
After four years of serving on the Eastern Promenade in Portland, new regulations have weighed in my decision to run things a little differently this year. I’ll be doing more private events but will continue to be open to the public when I’m able. Starting the first week of June I’ll be alternating at the Woodford's Farmer's Market and the Gorham Summer Thursday's throughout the summer. Instagram is still the best way to check about location, hours, and cancelations.
Yes, I do weddings, corporate events, and private gatherings! My quotes are based off the location, number of guest expected, and the date of the event. Feel free to fill out the contact form below with inquiries.
