The Working Hands Bakery is celebrating its 5th season in The Historic Grange Hall of Lee Maine. Every year we have an event to help raise money to continue the renovations on this beautiful Hall. This year we held a charcuterie dinner w/ imported meats and cheeses from Marcucci’s, Portland Maine,~ Fioré oils, Bar Harbor ME & rustic breads and baguettes from Working Hands Bakery, Lee Maine. What started as an idea turned into an event of amazing conversations, laughter and pure community…Handed crafted cherry wood cutting boards sponsored by Rick & Fiona Cole ~ lighting & chairs from Susan & Earl Smith ~ beautiful flower arrangements from Highfield Farm (aka Mary) ~ Emma Wisser (otherwise know as our favorite daughter 😉who always shows up in a clutch 😄) assembled the beautiful charcuteries ~ generous donations from
Near and far. And the man of the hour Tom Knowles, who never ceases to amaze us w/ his love of The Grange Hall. We often refer to Thom and Jane as “The Grandparents of The Grange.” Their vision applied to a persistent hope w/ hard work allowed the grange hall to rise to the occasion of a yesteryear and has given the town of Lee a building that cannot be missed when passing through our little town. The Grange stands tall in all her glory and now w/ a covered porch for gatherings of all kind. Thom’s craftsmanship aligns perfectly w/ the era of the Hall keeping the integrity of her beauty. We cannot thank you all for the support of our bakery and mostly for supporting our efforts to keep the Grange Hall as a viable member of our community❤️May we all remain in the graces of the Grange 💫🙌🏻
