Maine Oyster Aquaculture - Stories of Resilience and Innovation
In 2010, Abigail Carroll started NONESUCH oysters. It began as a small oyster farm in a nature conservancy in Scarborough, Maine, which just south of Portland. Today Nonesuch Oyster is an award-winning company whose oysters are in found top restaurants across the country. NONESUCH also offers (which I find interesting) a range of healthy Maine seafood and handmade skincare products made with Maine marine ingredients.
Beyond Fair Trade Coffee How One Small Coffee Company Helped Transform a Hillside Village in Thailand by Mark Pendergrast “What does compassionate capitalism look like? Mark Pendergrast shows us in this enlightening story of tribal life, opium, missionaries, market trends, a Thai antiques dealer, a mining entrepreneur and coffee.” Abigail Carroll, author of Three Squares:…
Many Mainers make their living on the water. Today we speak with two individuals who are doing so in very unique ways. Abigail Carroll is the founding farmer of Nonesuch Oysters, which is located in a nature conservancy in Scarborough; Jon Keller is a writer whose latest book, Of Sea and Cloud, was inspired by years of experience working in the secluded lobstering culture of rural Maine. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2015/06/making-a-living-on-maine-waters-198/
This week on A Taste of the Past, Abigail Carroll joins host Linda Pelaccio via phone for a discussion on the American meal. Abigail Carroll is the author of Three Squares: The Invention of the American Meal, where she upends the popular understanding of our most cherished mealtime traditions, revealing that our eating habits have never been stable—far from it, in fact. Whether we’re pouring ourselves a bowl of cereal, grabbing a quick sandwich, or congregating for a family dinner, our mealtime habits are living artifacts of our collective history—and represent only the latest stage in the evolution of the American meal. Tune-in for a historical context on how the dinner table became an evening ritual, and how this has caused with the rise of processed foods and snacking, associated problems as well. This program has been sponsored by Fairway Market. Thanks to The California Honeydrops for today’s music. “We’re talking about food in our society almost more than ever, and all these foods trends. But I don’t see people talk about how we eat – the social context of food, the family meal, and the value of that.” [22:15] — Abigail Carroll on A Taste of the Past
Giving Thanks- Thanksgiving.The federal government shut down effects on food and agriculture! We discuss this and other breaking news to open the show. Then, we get out in the field to speak with some people who make thanksgiving possible. Including, gleaning volunteers at Willing Hands, the Royalton Senior Center and local turkey farmers at Adams Family Farm. Then, we thank Abigail Carroll for looking back on the history of thanksgiving and giving us a cornucopia of questions to chew on this season.
