Local Love: Our Favorite Local Businesses We Work With
Supporting local business is extremely important to us at Crooked Steeple Hall because as a local business ourselves, we know how important they are to local economies and the families that depend on them.
Many businesses in Winterport were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. But thankfully, our state is opening up again in time for summer so we want to shout out some of our favorite local businesses in Winterport, Maine. These are businesses we personally patronize, partner with, and recommend to all Crooked Steeple Hall guests.
Ever had the pleasure of bathing with goat’s milk? Treat yourself to affordable luxury with soaps made from goat milk at Knotts Goat Soapery. This local soapery follows compassionate farming techniques, using milk from their own goats to craft handmade goat soap milk.
Knotty Goat Soapery’s line of goat milk soaps features several different fragrances, and are sold as single units, gift sets, and sizes perfect for use as party favors for your wedding or event.
If for some reason you ever wanted to send someone glittery goat poop anonymously, yes… they’d do that for you too.
2. Winterport Winery
This family-owned business offers a selection of sophisticated and supple award-winning fruit wines. At my last count, they had over 15 varieties of wine made from fruits like apples, blueberries, pears, cranberries, and more.
Berries and wine are the perfect pair… that’s why you must try the Berry Chocolate wine. It’s a blend of raspberry and blueberry wines with a velvety chocolate finish. Request it when you visit the Winterport Winery Tasting Room.
