Art in the Café
Pamela Hall
“A self-taught artist, I strive to paint a feeling, a mood, and patches of color from local scenes in alla prima (all at once, loose and fresh). I’m still working and learning this method and process. I finally realize it will take a lifetime. I primarily paint in oil and occasionally take a good challenge in other mediums. I am a member of the Farmstead Artists in Sullivan and adore and appreciate the inspiration from other member artists. We show once a month in Sullivan throughout the summer.”
In September we raise $1,965.74 for Brooklin Food Corps
This month we are raising money for DownEast Wood Bank
Bacon Wrapped Dates
These easy appetizers are sweet, savory, and bacony in one bite. Baking the dates caramelizes them, perfectly complementing the smooth cream cheese and crispy bacon. The recipe is also easy to scale up for larger gatherings.
Goat Cheese and Ginger Citrus Crostini
Crostini are a classic appetizer with a million variations. This version combines goat cheese with Bionaturae’s Citrus Ginger Fruit Spread and prosciutto. The tangy, sweet, and salty flavors blend beautifully on the toasted bread.
Apple Bunny Skewers – Kid-Friendly Appetizer
Apple bunnies are a fun Japanese method of cutting apple wedges into a bunny shape with flapping ears. They’re soaked in lemon water to prevent them from browning and give them a little zing! We’ve paired them with cheddar cheese wedges on skewers, making them an easy and kid-friendly appetizer.

Our Solar Array
Right from the start, we knew that we wanted our new Co-op to utilize the sun’s energy. That’s why our roof is so massive. Our roof is home to 414 panels, which can produce 350 kWh on a sunny winter day (offsetting around 40% of our energy costs). In the summer it produces even more.
In 2023 our solar array generated 140MWh
Since installation, the solar array has produced 568.17 MWh, offsetting 879,789 lbs of CO2 emissions. Equivalent to planting 6,647.61 trees.
Land Acknowledgment
Blue Hill Co-op acknowledges that it stands on the traditional lands of the Penobscot people and we honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations, including the Penobscot and other indigenous nations.
We acknowledge that this land and the area around it is the traditional and ancestral homeland of the Wabanaki Confederacy, including the Penobscot, Mi’kmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, and Abenaki people.
We respect the sovereign relationship between the tribes, states, and the federal government, and we affirm our support for Native Nations and indigenous people.
Through colonization, encroachment, genocide, disease, and violence, this land was taken from indigenous people, causing untold and incalculable harm. Yet, despite centuries of colonial theft and violence, this is still and will always be Indigenous land. Indigenous people are still here, demonstrating innumerable talents and gifts in the midst of continued oppression and colonialism. Indigenous people must be remembered, celebrated, and uplifted.
