The Maine Field Guide is an independent, curated guide to the best of Maine — the makers, retailers, and small businesses, and the products they carry, worth knowing about. What began in 2020 as a way to help local shops through a hard year has grown into something lasting: a trusted directory of over 1,350 Maine businesses across every corner of the state, from Kittery to Fort Kent. We're not paid by the businesses we list — we just like making it easier to find them. If you run an independent Maine business and want to be listed, add your shop or reach out at help@maineopenonline.com.
