John is the owner of Bub 'n Mutha's, a Veteran owned gourmet dry rub company with a Maine attitude and a mission.  He was born here in Winter Harbor, but got to live in North Carolina for five years where he learned BBQ and rub blending.  It was upon my return that he made the decision to start Bub 'n Mutha's here in Winter Harbor.

 

Their goal is to create a blend that could be used on anything that used to have fur fins or feathers.  Their fans though, have used the rubs on everything from avocado toast to fried zucchini and restaurants are using both flavors for cocktails.

Sider’s Woodcrafting is a family-operated small business that started in October of 2015. We started by making cutting boards out of domestic and exotic pieces of wood. Our mission is to highlight the natural beauty of wood by creating functional pieces of art. 

From our humble beginnings in a camper-converted workshop, we grew to produce over 2000 cutting boards in 2019. 

Then in 2020, we lost our converted workshop to a fire three weeks before Covid hit the USA, which canceled the craft fairs for the next year. We were left staring at a pile of ashes and had to start again, at ground zero.

Through the help of our friends, community, and the social media world, -  and an insane amount of hard work and late hours, we have continued to rebuild and grow.

Now, we have a newly remodeled workshop and have expanded our product line to include giant charcuteries, epoxy products, and even some custom furniture. Our online sales are increasing, our social media outreach is growing, and we are looking forward to showing the world what we can make.
