We thought craft fairs and health food stores would be a good place to start. We were using hand colored labels and making our own deliveries. We soon realized we could not grow on this way. We had professional labels made and increased our product line to 14 items.
In 1996 we opened our gardens up to the public. We sold mostly herbs and field grown perennuials. Today we sell a great selection of both as well as annuals and cut flowers. We offer 24 varieties of day lilies and an equally versitile selction of hosta.
The Fall of 2010 we built a new green house! We are now looking forward to the Spring of 2011 to embark on a new era of The Maine Accent. We look forward to fulfilling your gardening needs in ways we have never been able to before! We open May 1st..... See you then!

We started growing our business 16 years ago. With very little money, and much hard work we began with a field and a dream. We decided to start a specialty foods company. we decided we would grow the herbs and the hot peppers we needed for our products. After a few years of hauling water to the sight we put in power and drilled a well. We built a modest hoop house to start our propagation earlier, all the while collecting perennials and growing flowers to dry.
