MAINE

In Wilton, Maine, there's a cannery that imports and cans only dandelion greens.

Approximately 40 millions pounds (nearly 90 percent) of the nation's lobster supply is caught off the coast of Maine.

Maine produces about 25% of all the blueberries grown in North America (1998,  wild and cultivated combined) and is the largest producer of wild blueberries in the world. Wild blueberries are grown on 60,000 acres in Maine, and 99% of this wild blueberry crop is frozen. (Although some of these are later canned)..

90% of the country's toothpick supply is produced in Maine.

The honeybee is the official state insect of Maine.

What's a bean-hole bean? No, it's not a bean with a hole in it. Bean-hole beans get their name because they are baked in a hole. For hundreds of years, the Penobscot Indians of Maine cooked their food in a hole in the ground lined with rocks.
