Growing Maine's Food and Beverage Companies

The CEI Tastemakers Initiative, sponsored by FocusMaine, is designed to support, scale and strengthen Maine’s local food systems to be better connected, resilient, and sustainable.

For the past 6 years CEI Tastemakers Initiative has provided grants to established food and beverage companies to expand operational capacity and capabilities to meet targeted growth goals. Information about the 2025 Tastemakers Initiative will be available in early October 2024. If you would like to be notified when new information is available, please complete the interest form below.
