Come celebrate National Family Owned & Operated Businesses Day | June 23, 2026; a day that was created to recognize and honor the hard-working families who run small businesses, keeping them thriving and providing valuable goods and services to their communities.

Did you know that family-owned businesses make up about 80-90% of all businesses in North America and Maine too? From mom-and-pop shops to multi-generational companies, these businesses play a crucial role in our society and deserve recognition for their dedication and perseverance. So, let’s show some love for our favorite family-owned businesses on this special day!

Join us with your family (kiddos too), co-workers and friends to celebrate this National Day created to recognize and honor the hard-working families who run businesses. Great hors d’oeuvres, beverages and kids’ games too!

Nestled in the picturesque town of Pownal, Maine (a few minutes from Portland, Freeport and Brunswick), Estabrook’s new production facility showcases Maine’s innovative spirit and long standing environmental leadership.
