Perfect Pear Pie
If you love fruit pies, you have to try this delectable pear pie. It’s subtly flavored and minimally sweetened, so the fruit’s natural flavors shine. You can either serve alone or with a vanilla ice cream.
Pumpkin Spice Latte Tiramisu
This variation on the classic tiramisu is lightly flavored with pumpkin spice to evoke the favorite autumnal latte. It’s quick and easy to assemble, yet decadent and satisfying—the perfect end to a holiday feast.
Flourless Chocolate Cake (Keto Option)
This flourless chocolate cake has a beautifully light, airy, and moist consistency and a deeply chocolaty flavor! It’s wonderful right out of the oven but also leftover, not drying out or getting grainy. If you’re keto or have a keto guest coming, this cake is very easy to make sugar-free by using Lily’s Sweets no-sugar chocolate chips and monk fruit.

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.
