If you're down in Unity, ME, stop by and stock up!

After giving up Michelin-starred restaurant life for his Amish faith, Matthew Secich now smokes stellar sausages and cheese in a small, off-grid shop. ⁠https://bit.ly/3OyW48U
⁠
Today, you’ll find Secich at the end of a long road in the middle of a pine woods, beard down to his chest, hand-grinding meat. ⁠
⁠
Secich came up amid the frenetic rush of high-end kitchens such as Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago, but at Charcuterie in Unity, Maine, time is all he has. ⁠
⁠
In line with his faith, Secich’s small shop is lit by oil lamps and heated by a wood stove. His meat is kept cool in a pine room stocked with 80 tons of ice that’s hand-cut each winter after being harvested from a local lake. ⁠
⁠
The low-tech kitchen produces high-quality meats, from andouille and kielbasa to cured meat sticks, the artisan answer to gas-station jerky. ⁠

It's harvest time!

If Nancy seems unusually frazzled in the mornings, there’s good reason. The crops are ripening in overdrive and coming up from the field by the crate-full. And, just when Nancy thinks she’s got everything under control, a surprise crop appears out of left field…literally, out of the left field! So, if she’s operating in overdrive– just like the veggies– there’s a reason! She’ll still be her usual “welcoming, warm-fuzzies” self 😂, but will be zipping around in high gear.
