Before Odwalla. Before Coca-Cola. There was Fresh Samantha.
In the ‘90s, this Maine-made juice brand—born in a Scarborough basement—won the hearts of Gen X with vibrant labels and even brighter flavors. But what began as a grassroots success story was swiftly swallowed by Big Beverage.

Today, local innovators like grãze in Northport and The Milkhouse in Monmouth are reclaiming shelf space—one cold-pressed juice and creamy yogurt at a time. Rosemont Market stands with them, proving that independence, innovation, and integrity still thrive in Maine’s food economy.

It’s more than a purchase—it’s a vote.
Support local. Sip local. Stay local. https://www.ediblemaine.com/stories/community-advocacy-and-policy/unpacking-the-cart/
