Abstract
Niche small businesses are pretty much a brand for Maine, where owners build on a robust legacy of individual skill and enterprise.
They range from a blacksmith who forges Japanese-style knives, to a self-taught maker of complex stairways, to a locally-sourced lumberyard. Common themes? A drive to navigate the journey from personal interest to enterprise, honoring heritage while rolling out new ideas.
