Scarborough restaurants Chowderhead’s and Ken’s Place will be joining restaurants across the Maine for the annual Maine Menus Month, a celebration spearheaded each October by the Department of Agriculture.

Maine Menus Month invites restaurants statewide to take the pledge of preparing recipes and dishes that incorporate products locally grown, harvested and raised. By using local ingredients, participating restaurants increase production for Maine farmers and treat patrons to the freshest food available.
