​Sue joined the Coast of Maine Organic Products family in 2013 and has worked in the horticultural industry since the mid-eighties. A passionate gardener, she puts a lot of effort into organic fruit, vegetable and herb gardening. Because a lot of the harvest is preserved, she can enjoy cooking with it year-round.  An avid birder and naturalist, she is most at home when enjoying the outdoors, whether it’s kayaking, beachcombing or hiking through her Connecticut woodland.
