The Maine companies were honored across four categories: beer, chocolate, coffee and condiments.
Five Maine food producers have been named finalists in the 2026 Good Food Awards.
Products from 234 American companies were selected as finalists from over 1,200 entries. The program recognizes their commitment to taste, sustainability and social responsibility.
These companies were honored across four categories: beer, chocolate, coffee and condiments.
The Maine food producers include:
-
Allagash Brewing Co., Portland, for both Allagash Lager and Kickabout Lager
-
Bixby Chocolate, Rockland, made the list for its Belize Organic Dark Chocolate Bar
-
Tern Coffee, Brunswick, for its Familia Diaz Honey Pacamara coffee
-
Maine Gravy, Damariscotta, for its Resurgam Spruced-up hot sauce
-
Turtle Rock Farm for its Blueberry Cardamom spreadable fruit and Strawberry Chamomile spreadable fruit.
The grains and oils category will be judged in March to accommodate the seasonality of those products. Finalists for these two remaining categories will be announced in April.
The final winners will be announced on June 28, during the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City.
