Is there anything more Perkins Cove than lobster? 🦞

Barbara Walsh, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and award-winning author, writes an inspiring story about our most senior lobster trapper in Maine, and maybe even the world! Her book tells the tale of 103-year-old Virginia Oliver who began catching lobsters off Maine's coast when she was a little girl.

Made by a husband and wife duo, D. and Kendall, in their garage studio, these copper sea life creatures will bring your walls to life. D. and Kendall begin with a heavy 16 ounce (per square foot) sheet of copper that is custom manufactured by Revere Copper to an extreme measure of purity and demanding specifications.

A copper wire is brazed on the back of each wall hanging piece for easy attachment to a small nail or picture hanger. If hanging outdoors, we recommend you do so in a wind protected area or bring the piece indoors during episodes of high winds.

The green patina (verdigris) on parts or all of some pieces is what occurs over time to unprotected copper exposed to the elements and is the reason copper implements thousands of years old are still being found in reasonably good condition.On some of their pieces, D. and Kendall accelerate this process by brushing on an acid solution, exposing it to a fine water mist until the patina forms, and then blowing off any clear coated areas with compressed air to prevent water spots.

We think this is some of the best tasting raw honey Maine has to offer! Light, floral and a fruity sweet finish that will make honey connoisseurs stop in their tracks. This rare honey is produced in the virgin Allagash region of Maine when wild raspberries are flowering in the far north. The busy bees solely access the abundant nectar for a short period with not all seasons being favorable. When it's available, it's a treasure!

If being in remote Maine wasn't difficult enough, the beekeepers have to contest with black bears that have a hardy appetite for honey. Producing this honey is a risk but we can say that the results are worth it!  

Raw means no pasteurization therefore all of the beneficial nutrients of the honey remain intact and ready for your benefit!

If honey crystallizes, gently warm jar until it melts. Crystallizing honey is not a bad thing! It actually means that you have raw honey :)

Ingredients:
Raw Maine Raspberry Honey
