We are led to believe by certain elements within the lobster industry that the cripplingly low prices being paid to lobster fishermen these last few years is the result of the natural functioning of the “free” market. But is it really? Is it a free market, or an increasingly “controlled” one? Demand...

It's that time of year again. To dig into the trap piles. And Spofford's Trap Runners are hard at work at the mill to get these runners out. Last season we ran a little experiment using rock maple For trap runners. And our experiment proved that rock maple held up much better then red oak for the simple fact that the rock maple is much more solid. If you take a oak four foot trap runner and blow smoke into one end the smoke will travel right thru the runner and come out the opposite side. The red oak has many round tunnels that run right through the Oak. This gives the worms easy access to crawl through and eat the runners at a much faster pace . Just food for thought!

Due to today's high winds the Mill will not be operating. We do have a small amount of inventory on hand if needed. We are hoping we will be back in operation tomorrow. Thanks Ricky Spofford.
