I had an idea to find a restaurant with good food, somewhat centrally located here in Maine, and invite any permies around the state to come hang out. Just a chance to meet people in person with similar mindsets over some good food.
If this sounds like something you think might be interesting, tell me what town you live in so I can see what would be reasonably central for the most people.

have we settled on a day yet? I'm down for any food, there are also some decent breweries like Sea Dog, Masons and High Tide that are pretty popular spots for a good meal!Matt McSpadden wrote:Hi Richard,
Good to hear from you.
With the info I have now, Bangor seems to be the most central place. The dates and times are completely made up, just giving us a starting point. May 26th at 6pm or May 28th at 1pm. There is a Brunch menu for the Sunday option and there is a full menu for Friday evening. While I don't have one, I was thinking that people would bring their significant other? Thoughts on kids? I'm ok with well behaved kids, but some people prefer these sorts of things to be adults only.
The Timber Kitchen and Bar has really good food and I know a lot is local food. It is more pricy compared to chain restaurants. https://www.timberkitchenandbar.com/
I have heard very good things about The Lazy Hound, but I've never been there myself yet. It is not open on Sunday. https://lazyhound.business.site/
Please give me some feedback on times and places and whatnot. I'm open to suggestions. If we can get a majority consensus, then I will setup some reservations.

As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I am not as familiar with those, but I'd be willing to try sometime. I'd like to make this an annual thing or maybe bi-annual. I have heard good things about the Portland Pie Company too.

Cheers, happy land hunting to those looking, happy and blackfly-free progress to those with projects under development!
Thanks for setting this up, Matt!

sorry i didnt see this as well. was given 3 acres of farmland to plant and have about 60 planted with 60 more to go so i havent been online much. looking forward to the next one. maybe we can trade plants or crafts with each other next time. that would be cool. maybe contact Fedco and see if we could have the meeting there? i always wanted to go to their plant/ tree sale. maybe have the next meetup at that time? what you guys think?Steve Zoma wrote:I knew I would regret not being there and I do, but just have a lot going on. I thought it was last weekend, but got mixed up.
Sorry I missed everyone and hope to be there next year.

We’ve only been in Maine since October. We do love living in our little piece of nowhere but we’re fine mostly not driving much too. I mean, it’s so beautiful everywhere! We haven’t had to go far to enjoy nature here— that’s why we chose Maine to begin with. We’ve made it to the coast and plan to do some more lake kayaking if it ever stops raining long enough. (Not that I’m complaining about cool, rainy weather. It’s my favorite tbh.)
Who knows, perhaps after a few years here a few 2-hour away adventures won’t seem so cumbersome. Maybe?!

Haha :), if more people were as content as you, I think the world would be a better place.
Tell you what... if you don't mind, I will still send you an invite next year. And you can decide then if you think a 2 hour adventure is worth it or not :)
